If people watching is in your nature, you owe it to yourself to try some street photography. It can be addicting, and the fleeting moments you can capture will be one of a kind. The more you enjoy the process, the more you will capture.
Photo realism is not about drawing a portrait picture or capturing an image, it is about noticing the variation in tonal values, gradation & highlights. It is about capturing a particular type of feeling, emotion or mood of a character or a particular characteristic of a picture that is recreated. There is always something realistic that the picture speaks or talks about. It could be tear filled joyful eyes, ripples created in still water by a dew drop, Silence in the eyes that stare at wilderness. It is all about reading every stroke of the pencil which is a line in a story that is being ready to be read.
