Ted is (as usual) absolutely right. These are a great series of images which 
show your skill as a street photographer at its best, and also your 
excellent o[post-processing. Well done my friend! Have you thought of 
offering them to the Barcelona transport authority as a book and/or an 
exhibition which they may sponsor, or looking at EU arts funding for the 
same?

Best wishes,

Gerry
