The first one really works for me when you see the whole series. You can see her mouth forming the beginning of "****".. At least that's what I assume she is getting ready to say. Without the others, It doesn't seem as strong.
#3 stands on its own though. Fantastic.

Cropping the woman on the right (or at least most of her) would insure that the focus stays on the main subject of the photo. But then again, the feeling that everyone around her is ignoring her "tantrum" is only highlighted by the close passerby who is certainly not looking at the subject. I also think cropping it would rob the broader feel that this isn't staged like some kind of street actor with only a few people in the backdrop.

I've gotta say that the captures are great! Composition, moment, focus are all spot on. I'm not a real fan of the post-processing, however. I can see a halo surrounding her that speaks to oversharpening, or layer masking to blur the background further, or...
Vignetting actually works in emphasizing her in these pics so I guess I DO like some of the post. I'd love to see these in pure grayscale, though. To my eye they're creeping towards sepia and I think that they might be interesting with pure whites and pure blacks. But, GREAT capture of a vitriolic and emotionally violent moment! At first I thought she had piercings, but NO! That's spittle! She's foaming at the mouth! My god did you do a great job snatching that moment in time!
