The close-up of the fuel attendant wins hands down, not only because it is an attractive woman, but mainly because you got in close and made a good environmental portrait of her. I also like the helicopter at the end.

Cheers,
Nathan

I like the framing, but, consistent with my past experience, focusing of WA lenses on the X-E1 is painful.  Most was done using zone focusing.  This lens has excellent scales nicely engraved.
