I like the way the first shot makes it look like the person in the foreground is watching the others, and you're watching them.

Has a slight zombie feel to it somehow?

Eye contact from the kid in #2 is nice - and I like the bus as backdrop with the graphics flowing down the side

Cheers Chris ...
I wondered if these might e a step to far ... I just can't help but like this sort of thing at the mo!

I was really chuffed the kid looked at me, him not being in focus seemed to make it work even more ... Dunno, think I'm going off on a right old tangent at the mo ... You gotta explore these things though I reckon

Not at all. The first the lady is almost ghostly especially the light falling off her hair and the angle the photo was taken.
Intentionally slightly out of focus street for me is rather interesting as it makes me interact more with the image.

I like them very much as well, probably for the same reasons as you and Chris. The first does have a narrative feel to it and that glance in the second does indeed make it. Great timing and I like the guy on the other side of the bus also.

Very good Hamish, you cannot get away from the superb tonal qualities. Liking No. two a lot.

Cheers Pete, the post process definitely accounted for the chap on the other side of the bus
