Funny, I see pretty much no celebration here. Worse is that the only thing that could be considered celebration (the flowers) has an american flag instead of a Mexican flag.

I really like the feel of this and the subject matter, but IMNSHO, you need to pull way back on the processing. There looks to be a lot of haloing around the man in the center's lower legs.

This is truly a great piece of Americana.
I love the idea of showing the gritty, massive, grey and confusing way to get to one of the most beautiful cities in the world that is so dainty and with spots so well manicured.
Only an insider can do such a job.
Well done.

Title picture could be a postcard. It's beautifully done but didn't leave me much to ponder. I then opened up the collection and what a nice surprise. A beautiful take on everyday mundane with some excellent compositions. Very enjoyable series!

When I saw this title slide I thought I wouldn't like your bold and large border. As I moved through the images I found I was wrong - it works well.

The whole set is very coherent and hangs together nicely, I particularly like the ones with swathes of black with high contrast and some glow.

The selective desaturation is more problematic for me - on some images it works really well, on others not at all well - I'm not sure why.

Overall though, a fine and interesting job.

An engineers point of view (yes, I work with them). Your black and white graphic approach works really well and the essay holds together nicely.
