I like §1 a lot.  Creative vision.   §3 seems a bit over processed.

#3 edited on purpose the image was even squeezed.
Thank you Anthony for your comment.

funny, i have a pic with the same poster (The beauty of visions) and planned to make a thread in here - but you were faster - the "Flying Dutchman" beated me.
Your 2nd pic tells imo the most: rikscha sightseeing with site containers. This is a typical todays situation.

I liked the 15mm f/3.5 a lot for its little linear distortion

Fons, i feel the need to comment on this picture, not as it is, but for international readers:

the group consisted of young men (ca. 15?) and one of them planned to marry had to marry
the next day. We have in Germany in some cultured areas (there are rumours, they exist) the custom,
that the bride and her girlfriends go a day before to make street party.
To finance this they collect any small things, they do not need anymore and put it in a basked
(to be seen here in front of the young man) and they sell it to passers, also asking for donations.
This works best in small villages, where everybody knows everybody or in cities,
like here in front of Frankfurt Central Station.

So these funny guys carricaturated their girls in slipping into
female designer clothes and and acting like them.
As far as i remember the group had a lot of fun.

Every person inherently has alternate aspects in their personality. All that remains is to detect and explore.

I like the shot of the Plein and the man on the stairs - for different reasons of course.
that man on the stairs looks like he stopped waiting for you to finish your shot so he can get on with it

I like n.3 quite a lot, half real, half drawing look, the man's look connecting me to the scene...
Maybe you should keep numbering the pictures, knowing you this may become a long (and rich!) thread...
