I like the one with the two couples of tourists as the colours of the gardigan of the lady on the left echo the Credit Suisse building and the guy on the right?s T-shirt. And the sky remainds me of my nikon days ;-) The Abstract of the scales is superb too - combo and rendition. I notice a tad of moire in the last one even when seen XXL. Is it due to over sharpening? Well, anyway, I like the scene and the dynamics of the people there.
