Another B&W Treatment w/Grain

This shot just didn't work in color, and adding some grain gives it
more of a 'street' feel.

It seems you have preconceived notions about what is 'street
photography'. It is not enough that it be taken in the street.

Is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...R--7501195.jpg a
street photograph, and why don't I want to crop it?

Not at all.
To my mind ‘street photography’ has more to do with candid capture
rather than being shot in a street. Since many of the more proficient
candid/street photographers of yore worked in B&W, I find a B&W
treatment evocative of that class of ’street photography’.

Also consider this, not a street in sight, but very ’street’ in tone.

Originally I was setting out to photograph the facade of the building,
but why don't I want to crop it?

Poor toilet training, who knows?

Perhaps that is the only shot you have of your wife on that trip, and
diplomacy dictates you don't crop her from the image.

The lady in the bottom right was saying "I don't want to hear of you
even thinking of cropping me out!".

She was practicing he SCREAM!

Nope. In fact I was thinking of making a collection of shots where,
there she is, front and center.

I think it's a superb photo - riot of things going on. But not
sufficiently intimate for what I might consider street photography. And
have to say the feet chopped off the character bottom left is annoying!

Yes I can see where this would not work in color. It does in monochrome.
I see two subjects, divided by a lamp post. The surfer with a cell
phone, and the woman just chilling out, contemplating the water.
