A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Street photography with backs of people. Backs are ok if done for a good reason - see Lee Friedlander "New York City, 1966" and others for examples of well done 'backs '.
Street photography with subjects waaaay far away. Get closer. Zoom with your feet.
I suppose I'll be down-voted and told to let people do what they want, but to me, it isn't really street photography.
both of those are just people who aren't confident to get in front of, or close to their subjects. i agree i think they should just go out and shoot much more instead before sharing. i see way too many "tried street photography for the first time" posts that's just that crap. nobody needs to see anything you've done for the first time.
