I am amazed that this intriguing image only finished where it did. Should have finished much higher up in my humble opinion.

What an amazing vignette of unrelated people. Surreal and real at the same time.

I really like the concept behind this shot. It's one you can linger on for a while. Small concern - cropping off the Lady's foot on the left.

This is one of those delightful photographs that looks initially like an offhand shot of nothing much, and yet turns out to become more and more and more as the many layers of meaning and interest unfurl themselves. Some of the great street photographs are like that (I mean universally, not DPC's current street challenge) ... they look mild and yet reveal themselves to be profound, or at least special. Here the characters are arrayed as if for some kind of performance, a 'street' version of a chorus line perhaps, and I am irresistibly drawn to imagine speech bubbles all over the place, like in a comic strip. All those overlapping conversations, thoughts and asides. All the roles people adopt. Making your picture, for me, a wonderful tilt at communication and modern manners. The Importance of Being Earnest for the 21st century. This now hangs on my imaginary 2010 wall, entertaining me and confounding the janitors. Thank you.
