I like that the walker's red shirt and the motion blur almost make him look like a part of the graffiti. Cool. Congratulations on the HM.

One of my top picks - wonderful interaction and suggestion of stories in the lives of these people. And I'll bet you got very close if you knew the subject of their conversation - French people may be animated, but generally they are not loud when they are in public places. That's one thing Americans visiting France comment on - if they ever quiet down long enough to notice :)
ETA Congratulations on the Blue, John!
