I like the top picture. It is oversharpened and/or over-compressed as one can see the jaggies around the major objects like the buildings. The slight curvature is interesting. The bottom shot is ok but I find the parked cars the only interesting area. I think that the stree on the left is too vacant. But overall, they are both interesting scenes of urban life.

I find it interesting that they have a Staples in Canada!

The first one looks more like a painting to me, somehow.

Thanks guys. I do a lot of post processing to get that painting look. The "over sharpened" appearence is probably due to necessary compression (see my query Effects of Photo Compression on Critiques.

Don,
Looks like there might be a few places down there that bear investigation.

John:

What do you mean by investigation?
