My preference is man with suit case #1. A comment on the others that might help in the future. Of course I realize you know what I'm gong to say so please take it as a touch of a reminder. ;-) Lady doing her embroidering. All that was needed is the action or implied action of her pulling the needle and thread though the material. There had to be some kind of hand action as she reached to pull the needle. And it would've been "Bingo!" Newspapers ? Almost the same thing, the action of her reaching to put money in the box and or taking the paper out. Remember it's this simple. Light, eyes, action, or any combination of those elements and 99.99999% of the time a picture will work. Old man.... This is tricky, although I think if he were farther down the sidewalk, smaller in silhouette it might have been more effective or being able to see he was walking. But it's hard to understand that he's an "old man" in this shot. Or what he's doing? But "Man with Suitcase?" It's right on the mark with light, action. Wonderful composition with trees and building lines and shadows. Good on you for hitting this one . ted
