I have never done street photography before, not even sure if I totally understand what it is. I didn't want to do the typical pictures of homeless people although that is what is likely going to win this challenge.

I think in the future I would try to concentrate more on the street or the skyline. When you try to do both like this, it's hard for the viewer to figure out which you subject is supposed to be.
I saw that Tower and immediately thought I was looking at a San Antonio skyline, but it looked so different :) That structure is such a definining feature of a skyline, isn't it?
While this shot is of a street, it just doesn't "say" anything to me. There is no focal point, no story, nothing to hold my interest... its just a street and nothing more.
