Joshua: Great shots from Europe. I really like the shot from Tuscany on the previous page. Looks like your doing a very scenic tour of Europe .
Ronny, Phillip: Vibrant, yet still naturally looking greens on those shots on the last 1-2 pages. Really feels like spring.
Chuck: You're certainly making good use of the Batis 40.
Bastian: Wonderful series from Scotland.
Douglas: I really like the calm atmosphere of that boat at sunrise shot.
Birdie: Really impressive macro work.
Bob: Nice DC series. I guess the first shot is sort of symbolic for politics in general these days .
Here is another older shot I took back in March. It's part of the same series I posted in the Winter in Northern Japan thread last week. Loxia 21 at f8.

I wasn't sure which I liked better so I'll share both of these street shots with the Zeiss 35mm ZE f2 lens.
IMHO the first one is better. To me it looks like you're capturing some action there. In the second shot, because of the cyclist trying to get out of the frame, it looks like the action has already completed and you pressed the shutter release too late.

The second by a long shot! You need to decide if you want a cityscape or a street shot. Get closer to the subject.
Question is what the subject is. Since in the second shot the cyclist is OOF, I don't identify him as the subject, although he is closer than in the first shot.
So maybe I would had perceived the second shot as the "better" one - if the cyclist were to be in focus and thus identified as the main subject.
Not trying to be argumentative - I'm just trying to explain how I perceive the scenes.
