2nd and 5th are my favs.
Love the colours, and the last love her expression as you're snapping them both

[halesowenkid]

I love #2 the multi coloured bees nests :lol:
But #5 is superb!

Thanks for posting ;)

[john_s]

2, 3, and 5 are my favourites.

[photomill]

I love the last shot, brilliant. I don't even mind the fact that the girl is cropped, has a very spontaneous feel.

[drandtus]

Wonderful, all. I especially like 2 and 5. The slight tilt in 4 is also cool.

[TomTomTuning]

I like # 4 and 5.. Awesome shots !!! Keep it up !

Seems like that's people's favourite, the original isn't cropped but has her partner in it and it was much better when it was just the two 'women' in the frame- this was the only way I could crop it.

[grimreaper]

first and last are the best

[srdjanhorvat]

5. the best .... camera sholud be moved more left ... .. but it is a great pic..

[Anke]

They're all great. Gotta love that light pollution in the first shot and what a pity you just cut off the girl in the last one. Great stuff.

In the original she isn't cropped and her boyfriend is on her left, who also isn't cropped. It just fitted more with the stencil like that.

Cheers. And what I said above :p

#5 is the Banksy

I came across that just after Chalk Hill station? Was on my way to Emerates Stadium. Such an great find.

[Wazza]

Yeah right next to Chalk Hill.

You know your way around!
And seen plenty of your fun pics in the share your self portrait thread too

Funnily enough, I waited for the girl to leave the shot

Heard the two gay Policeman kissing sketch is about Aldgate somewhere unless its been removed.

Excellent series, adam. Great vairety of shots, I like the last one best though it is technically flawed, but then again, most street photos are. I sure would like to see that Bansky trompe l'oiel work with my own eyes...

Well, we all see it differently! I just wanted someone to mirror the women.

Cheers pio. I would too, wonder if there's a list somewhere of where it all is. Personally it should all be left as it is, it's art not graffiti.

Here is the original for you to see, would you have left her partner in the crop?

[chestercopperpot]

i love that last one. i actually do wish the girl was a little more in the frame, but i totally realize this isnt exactly "posed shooting" and you get what you get! :) with that, its still a great picture!

Thanks, i'm sure you can see why I made that choice cropping the original.
