John...busy city life. I know it is part of the environment of your shot but it will be nice if you can clone out the blue bicycle stand under the tree as it is a bit shiny and distracting. Good editing.
Interesting processing in the first one. Can I ask what you are using?
I like the angles in the 2nd shot, John.
Both are very nice. I find the second one in b&w the most interesting.
