I find the tea house just fascinating; I've never seen one before. The white structure creates good contrast and somehow the grey day adds to the overall moodiness of the shot.

Separate Lives

I like how the people are all in the their own little world, and the feeling of open space I get form this shot. I'm not really fond of the slight tilt - it draws my eye a bit.

I like the other one better but will comment here because of your request for help on banding. There are a couple things you can do, and the first is to shoot in raw if you aren't. Raw is 16 bit and will allow for smoother transitions due to more data present, especially if you are doing a lot of editing. For pictures that are 8 bit or even 16 bit that have banding, add a bit of noise to the affected area. It may not work perfectly, but at least it will fool the eye. Feel free to pm if you have questions.

Nice job using the filter, this has the pencil sketch feeling. I'm becoming quite the fan of candid shots of people walking away, and this one is well done.

That overlay is way cool! This has almost a haunted feel to it.
