Ok , here goes..
given the order they are in. The cyclist going by the hotel is a nice
slice of city life - though kinda bland to me. The one with the strong
shadows would work well except for the large shadow on the left.. yet
cropping that out alone leaves some imbalance - might want to play
around with various crops - certainly worth the effort - nice mood
and ironic juxtapositioning :-) Noting Locust street sign.
I really like the rest - except the last one is a bit too light.
29, 30, 31 - just perfect, IMHO. although I don't know if what
grabbed you about them is that same as what grabs me - which is the
Brave New Worldishness - the lack of humanity in those scenes..
the antiseptic atmosphere. The loneliness conveyed in the one with
the man and boy on the escalator.
The last one just repeats the theme but not quite as well as the others
do , for me. not sure why..
Now this is one time when I appreciated flicker more than smugmug.
Obviously you have shifted from "legacy" to "new" smugmug - don't like
your choices here for presentation - those oversized thumbnails , the
journal style instead of an index page, and the slideshow didn't run
properly on XP.. I'm seeing how much I'll have to struggle with smugmug
to facilitate the look I ant for my stuff -which is somewhere between
what I have now and what I think of as ideal..
Hope this is of some use

A small gallery of photos taken in the city. I am a little off the
reservation with these... in style and process. Not my usual picture
landscape photos. I would appreciate any C&C the group can offer. Thanks
