I definately agree on the couple on the bench shot, that's a nice one! I think the idea of this sort of photography is to try and capture some sort of human emotion ... Be it directly, or through interaction with thier surroundings ... I think this one captures the latter quite nicely
The shots of "pan pipe dreams" almost deserve thier own thread I think as they are nice shots, but outside of this context of the rest of the thread...
The butcher shot is also nice, but for being cut off at the toes ... Maybe a crop around his waist might help a bit?
