Definitely a story here. The fellow under the tree, in the shadows, is what I see at first then I'm drawn to see the woman in the cafe. Tells a story that lingers in the mind.

I like the crispness and high contrast in this shot.. as other's have mentioned, your crop really brings the focus onto the children and the adults who are not paying attention, made all the more ominous indeed by the sign.. really holds my interest.

I really like your subjects, and the contrast of the big legs next to the little children. It's odd, though, because above the fence rail the background is washed out. It almost seems like two different backgrounds. I might try cropping so the sky isn't visible, though of course you'd lose the veiny arm of the man on the left, which is an interesting detail.

Two worlds created by height - two sets of conversations and focus - wonderful job of composition to drive home the message

the perspective and how we are driven to see the woman drinking inside the shop across the parking lot is outstanding - subtle yet hard hitting

I very much like this take on the scene, cutting off the adults and focusing on the children, who indeed seem quite captivated with the view before them. Excellent conversion - very good contrast and clarity.

I like the wrap around effect of Pay Parking Only. And I really like the woman in the cafe. You may have been shooting the man in the foreground, but it's the woman that makes the shot for me.

Interesting about the missing person and the unclaimed camera. Had you thought quickly, perhaps you could have absconded with it. Some great textures here.

I agree with Iraklis about the adults. However, I feel the crop also gives more focus on the children and sort of 'brings you into their world' or 'down to their level.' It's a good feeling!

The thing that most catches my eye and interests me here is not the man, not the woman, but that jar on the fence... it really makes me wonder what happened, why it's there... Like it! On the processing side, I think the left trunk of that tree is a tad too dark, it's kind of distracting for me.
