I can't make up my mind if this is working. Maybe first, maybe second or maybe neither?

Neither work for me as there is no connection between the subjects. If the lady on the left were looking more to the right there might be a story there... I am also distracted by the writing in the centre of the picture

the first one all the way

This is the kind of thing i strive for in my street photography
Learn how to live and you'll know how to die; learn how to die, and you'll know how to live.

If either one of them was to work I'd say the second but I reckon davem is right they're just not clicking.

No 1 for me... It's the body position, and specifically the head turn of the lady... Like she's been startled... Very well seen...

The writing on the centre doesnt' bother me but I agree with the rest.

This could only work if the shocked face was looking at the woman, and the woman was really hideous in some way ( which she isn't )


They are also cropped too tightly, my first thought thought was that it was two pics pasted together.

No. 1. It's the incongruity between the giant face and the unbothered woman which makes the shot.
