>>3735407I was a little harsh there. so let me try to be a little more helpful.
it's not because street is about shooting people that all you need to have a good photo is to have people in it. standard rules of compositions still apply, and you still need an interesting subject to make a good photo. right now I feel that you saw the guy holding his glasses like that and you just snapped away because it was slightly out of the ordinary. Your photo isn't straight, there's nothing in your photo that draws the viewer in, just the back of two people sitting on a chair. Imagine if you were taking the photo from the front, you would have gotten the guys expressions while he was examining his glasses. now that could have been fun. you have to think you're trying to tell a story. What's your story here? right now it doesn't have a lot going for it.
As for the focal length. it's really all about being a part of the scene. not only for you, to fully immerse yourself in it, but also for your viewers. the brain can tell from how far a photo was taken. being close makes all the difference, you actually feel part of the scene and this translates to a stronger emotional response from the viewer.
the first times doing street is hard, you'll be scared, you don't know how people will react when they see you with your camera. but you just have to grow some balls and do it. shoot people from the front and get close.
