"Les clochards" caught my eye partly for technical reasons. Most of the scene is in full shade, but a portion is in direct sun. That makes for challenging contrast, but you managed it well. The highlights (in direct sun) still have some detail. Yet the mid-tones also have adequate separation. I often see attempts to save highlights at the detriment of mid-tones. For example, the mid-tones will look muddy or otherwise lose character. Or the mid-tones will look OK but the highlights will be blow out. Not so in your work. It's a fine balance you've achieved, and it's not an easy thing to do, IMO. Very nice images.
