Technically it is a very interesting photo, it is well done in my opinion. The b / n I like, the grain in some places is not bad, in others it may disturb (for example between the wall and the man's sleeve on the left). Maybe I'd cut it a bit ... I'm not even a big lover, expecting more authoritative opinions.
For the rest it was made up very well, it is a classic street but well done.

I find the blacks too closed although they lack contrast. :-)

Excessive clarity, which should be great at the printing stage, but not monitor: - / for the other great bianconero although it is a bit dull at some points ..
The time taken is beautiful; Two mature people who "play" on the cellphone (symbol of modernity) were older would have been even better ;-) leave much to the imagination ... what will they do to us?

@ Ales5a78 Thank you, though it was really a good luck to "pick them up" while you can make a decent shot. I honestly do not remember if I used the sharpener or not
I'm sorry that some blacks are too "black" in my opinion
@ Will84 Thanks, it's the first street photo I thought of as such and not like "checculo looks what went out"

The picture is very beautiful I really like the contrast between the 2 older men at the cellphone technology. But the b & n does not convince me so much, too many gray.

If you use lightroom you might have set it as default when I export it because it happened to me :-D however I'm not expert but it looks like you've increased the sharpness ;-) then boh

Technique: pleasing black and white, right grain, I would just trim a bit the top part.
Content: beautiful, the two lords studying the phone make a nice contrast. Too bad the hood that hides part of the man's face that looks, it would be nice to see his eyes.

TECHNIQUE: I like black and white and grain, it's a 'classic' photo but it's always nice to see.

CONTENT: I ??do not really inspire the subject, and in fact I appreciate much more the development of the photo if the content itself.

The grain is perfect, no problem.
The garments have fabrics that come out of the screen, it seems to be them, maybe thanks to the black and white, maybe the grain I would not know though the effect I like.
In my opinion the composition is somewhat unbalanced to the right and it has to affect the staticity that this image should transmit; I would then cut a few pixels up and to the right.
The pose is very beautiful, pity for the moment maybe not so interesting.

Technique: I would say a nice shot. Correct shooting values. Conversion in b / n excellent, even if I put more white. The dresses are really beautiful and three-dimensional. The thing I do not like is the cut ... I personally put them to a third on the left, the square size x personal choice nn I use and I do not like it.
Content: an interesting street photo. Nice and pleasant situation. Daily I would add. I miss having a more readable face ... of the series of the type with the phone that looks tapered to say "I do not understand a poker ..."

CONTENT AND TECHNIQUE: as a start in the world of street photography is not bad, the BW is a little dark and there is too much grain, but things are easily resolved. If you read my comments on the group you will notice that I often repeat these words, "the photo is a snapshot and missing a prominent element", if I look at the image there are two men who look at a cell phone, a daily scene but there is' It's nothing special to catch attention.
In street photography you have to take a moment of everyday life that is unique, you have to find a point of view that would escape most people, irony and humor, a juxtaposition of shapes and colors.
If you want, I suggest you read this book written by ERIK KIM (free and downloadable from its site):

Technique: In my opinion too much grain, but all the rest I like pretty, beautiful street. In your place I would have made it very controversial with the whites almost burnt, since there is the grain it will sfrutterei :-D
Content: It's not a special moment but it has the same charm.

Interestingly, because it is halfway between a certain vein of sadness - the two protagonists are a bit behind with age and seem rather hurt in the arsenal - and some fun to see them in the tears with technology, to which with all Probabilities are not particularly enjoyable. Even the shoes are almost identical. This with regard to content.
Technically little to say, good black and white, good sharpness, maybe I would have chosen a more sharp rectangular cut in the vertical, square cuts always convince me little.

TECHNIQUE: the central composition does not disturb me anymore, it is also in such a picture. I do not like how you handle shadows and lights. The first too closed (and you can see, for example, pants or shoes where there are no more details), the second too too closed (the whites are gray). Basically it is perhaps an issue of exposure. I like the grain created.

CONTENT: Elderly people with new technologies always come out with interesting and nice photos, in which case the face of the two people says it all.

Technique: Great composition! Great Black and White Toning! Grain visible but enjoyable! For me it is really great technically!
Content: Communicative. Elderly vs. Technology made in a great black and white film like. There is everything. Great!

The grain is in this kind of shots, and composition also has its value.
Just the glass on the right, I would have included it completely or eliminated. Cubed objects are always a bit naughty to see.
Darker areas are lacking in detail, maybe a slight opening would go.
Overall a good test.

Technique: You abounded with the grain, but you can stay. This does not disturb you much and how your choice makes sense. What less convinces me of the black and white that you have achieved is the level of medium grays. The face of the subject to the right is too similar to the wall and it is confused. I would have given more space down, the photo is right at the foot of the foot.
CONTENT: I'm not an expert on street (actually I'm not familiar with anything!) But the contrast between the cellphone and the elderly I find it interesting. Contrast accentuated also by the size of the smartphone compared to the four shaving heads that lie in place of the hands.

@Riccardomelzi thanks for the comment!

@Ronkybuz maybe another post production run I do, to see how it would be another kind of development

@Lucafamlonga thanks!

@MarcoCoscarella I try to change something in development, maybe I am stuck!
