Perfect!
These are gram level photos, I really love the message too.
My favourite kind of photos are the ones that are unintentional, unchoreographed. I like to think of photos as snapshots of "real-time", and while designed sets and choreographed pictures also have their place, the photos capturing the journey tend to have more impact on me.
Just a side note, I really like the way you've done the colours here too. I've never really understood how to do colour grading "properly" and I've perhaps dangerously fallen into the trap of using pre-set filters a bit too often when I feel like "spicing" up my photos. I really should learn how to do it "properly".

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, and to be honest I think I like street photography for the same reason, there is nothing set up, everything is spontaneous and candid, street photography, documentary and wildlife photography, etc, all of them have this same feeling.
About color grading it all depends on what software you are using and what you want to show. Personally I use Lightroom almost all the time because I feel I have more control than in other programs and without the need to use a lot of disk space for each photograph.
What you have to keep in mind is the color palette, and try to create that color balance you are looking for, there are some rules about color to know which colors match and which don't, sometimes I follow them and sometimes I don't because I believe that photography is felt, and there are moments when we must follow that feeling more than the rules.
