Work in Progress - London 2

These images were taken in London on a second visit. The first are some from Oxford Street area (Bond Street, Carnaby Street), the others are from Covent Garden. 

I thought I would include this image to show what a difference peoples presence in an image can make, as this image is lacking substance. This was taken with f/5, 1/80 second and 39 mm.

This in contrast to the above image, I feel would look better without the presence of people in it. This is because you still get a feel of action and movement from the cars, and can see more in the street. It was taken with f/14, 1/80 second and 31 mm.

I feel like this image would work better with more people, perhaps if there was a queue for the coconut water and you could see that the man behind the stall was working quickly in the image for example. This was taken with f/5.6, 1/640 second and 55 mm.

At the time of shooting this, I imagined something more of interest as all at once there was a lot of pink repetition. It might have worked better if I had another shot closer up. It has a aperture of f/5.6, shutter was 1/640 second and 55 mm focal length.

I saw this man before I had crossed the road from the other side of him, but too many people were in the way of the shot, so had to take one from the other side. I by then had lost a good shot and achieved this. I do like the sign next to him however as though he is 'selfridge' himself. This was taken with f/5.6, 1/640 second and 49 mm.

I shot this as I was crossing a road, I like the image and that you can see a lot of faces, but it would of been better if I had seen my framing and checked it was level. Something that I corrected in photoshop but it didn't look quite right. It was taken with f/4.5, 1/640 second and 28 mm.

Two things I would change in this would be the post in the way of some of the subject, and the lens flare would could not be helped because of the direction of the sun and the way I could shoot from. This was taken with f/6.3, 1/640 second and 54 mm.

I like the movement present here from the two people in the foreground. I would have tilted my camera downwards slightly to get less 'empty' space in the top of the image, and to include the girls foot. It was taken with f/5, 1/640 second and 42 mm.

I like the interaction between the two girls here, but would of preferred if I could of directed them and asked the closest girl to move back slightly to see more of each of their faces. It was taken with f/5.6, 1/640 second and 55 mm.
