These are superb....good photos are fine....subjects enhanced or not.
For me...didn’t think I’d find myself using that term...these are truely artistic....images invoking impressions and thoughts....the way our brain actually sees the world before the conscious mind gets hold of the brain processed evaluated data....that would otherwise just say....oh it’s a bus

Brian - thank you so much. I really appreciate that. You have encapsulated in many fewer words, what I have been struggling to say about my own work!

Excellent, Richard, you have truly mastered this art form.

I love them both, they are truly impressionistic, they convey the dynamism of street life and are recognisable of their place. Purely in preference terms, my vote is for the first because I think in this one you have got the balance just right of it being recognisable as a London bus, but the focus is on the street scene and the bus seems almost incidental. On the second it is more the other way around. So I guess you have been successful one way or another on what you wanted. So pleased that you keeping popping back to share.
