The second one, uncropped, in color is much better than the rest (although an editor would probably crop this as the next example shows if this were illustrating an article).(posted 8806 days ago)I still have one general comment, though, which I've brought up before. Without a context, shots like this (and some of the other recent posts) are at best "nice" (or maybe "mostly harmless" for Douglas Adams fans). As part of a series on street life or bus stops or working people or the city you live in or shopping or benches or asians or new perspectives (or something) - then it would have some impact.
Part of the problem of not having such a context is that criticisms tend to devolve into technical minutiae, rather than anything that could be meaningful or helpful.
