Ferry Shots

I really want to get back into street photography, but after years in "exile" from NYC and mainly taking landscape shots, I can't help but being intruiged by form and color. So yeah, my shots look different now, do they still work and engage? (I quite radically downsized them, so they lost a bit of sharpness & "pop").

Here are some variations of shots recently taken on the Staten Island Ferry - what do you think, and which one works best? Any C & C appreciated.

Here's the b/w version:





The "long legs" version:

# 3. Brings back my younger days when I used to ride the ferry for "fun" and to explore. Bet you could do an interesting series on just ferry shots

Thanks for the comments! It's great to hear that you guys see what I saw .

@dlplumer - a series of ferry shots didn't occur to me, but it's a great idea. Unfortunately I don't live that close anymore, but I still visit NYC frequently to meet friends and take pics. Maybe I should make a ferry ride my routine, I like your suggestion. You're right, lots of potential there.
