I love number 2! Amazing angle, how did you get up there? Did you struggle with your monopod?

Thank you. I like this one too. I am usually vexed by shadows, in this one, the light post adds an interesting line between the two souls. The lady's shadow brings some weight to what would otherwise be a more austere scene. I shot this hand held from the 2nd deck of an open London public bus. Number 1 is my favorite though. Literally shot from the hip. I caught her setting up for the cartwheel and fired off a quick click in the hope that I would capture it. She is moving left-to-right and the chap opposite is moving right-to-left. Different sort of scene but it is exactly what I saw in front of me the instant it happened, a decisive moment. I have been off the streets for over 20 years. Just picking it back up. I have a long way to go. I appreciate the feedback.

I go for number 2 without the dude...I feel like he's ruining her contemplative space. Number 1 is actually pretty cool, made cooler by the fact that it was a gunslinger shutter.
