Hi Philippe, thank you for your suggestions. I really appreciate 
compositional and technical suggestions especially.
For the first (lying) you mean a more square crop (your fault I am stuck on 
golden section rectangles now) or that the image has
some perspective distortion of the buildings owing to the lower angle (from 
the 28)? I was a little undecided regarding putting the
figures centrally, however I do like the framing palm trees for context. A 
bit too static maybe. I'll try a crop from the left.
I like the second of the man on the swing also. Thanks for noticing.
Understood on the third, I was also cropping to minimise an area that needed 
repair as well (I kinked the film in processing) while
maintaining the proportions. I can see that the crop from the bottom will 
position my runner better. 
Thanks for commenting
Cheers
Hoppy

Hi Hoppy,

Loved these three a lot:

 (a tiny bit more  
squared maybe?)
and esp.

and

 (I think with one row of tiles less at the bottom)
Your Europe trip has become very fruitful!

Thanks for showing,
Philippe
