I really like 2 and 3. The colours, reflections and layers in 2 appeal, getting a bit Saul Leiter. 3 is almost from another age apart from the shiny bollard and Mickey and Minnie to bring you back to now(ish). Shame you didn't do 3 with the 31mm, (sorry, I hate this kind of comment) , I'd love to see it slightly punchier and sharper.
Lurking is shirking.!

Thanks!
Funny you mention using the 31mm for shot 3. I was actually experimenting by keeping the 18-135 at about 70mm to see how useful I would find that focal length. The answer was "surprisingly useful" so the only question now is whether to go for the 70 or the 77!

Two and three stand out as excellent shots. "Can't think of a title" is a surreal mix of colours and images.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

2 is very interesting Perhaps something along the lines of 'Fallen angel', or 'RTA reflections'.

thanks for the comments everyone. funny thing about No2 was that my first reaction was "how do I shoot the dummy without the reflection?". took a while to realise that the reflection might add to it

Very nice set indeed. My favourite by far is #2. It doesn't need a title, it speaks for itself!

Another vote for number 2. A great example of seeing things with a different eye.

Is on the TV (the house not your photo), just watching it on Yesterday, the Supersizers go Restoration . It's their pad. So it gets rented out as a TV set by the looks of it. No wonder it isn't done up.

Seeing No. 2 made me think of a new take on "Resusci Annie" .
Nice collection - I love No. 3 which could have looked nice in b/w.
