Working in B&W
“We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson -
Something like this
just my opinion of course

In no. 1, if you had taken it from a foot further left, the hanging light bulb would not have been covering up the edge of the 'S' which I find slightly irksome - it might even then have worked as a small and slightly odd exclamation mark. I agree with Michael's suggestion to crop out the 'Malan' sign.
On No. 2 - a tiny crop on the LHS would get rid of the white line in the top left (a road sign?)

Ken, I'd already done some work with the levels to get them to a point I liked - I've had a look at the full jpgs and they are pretty much as you describe, which is a look I wanted, so there must be something in the compression that has changed things?
Michael, I prefer your look, so I will adjust accordingly.
Phil, I know what you mean vis. being further left, but that would have put me half in and half out of the shop - I'd be part of the window and would have a staircase right in front.
I'd not noticed the white line, it's now been banished!
Thanks again, all
