The first one is fine but there is a competition between the people and the background.

 

The second one i don't like it at all just one shot with any purpose, who is the main subject ? who is is focus ? and the cut on the hand..........

 

Cheers.

Sadly, Jeanne-Claude is no longer alive. Smithsonian magazine had a thorough article about Christo and creating this work.  It's worth trying to find. 

 

Very nice photos.

Just "read" the picture in #2. It shows a woman who (mis)uses Christos' piece of art for presenting herself. But the views from the by passers dont show the admiration she hopes to get. That's the "story" of the picture and for that it does not nee the last tip of her haires. I regret more that the pearl in her left hand is cut in half althoug it does not diminish the visual story too much.

 

I will attach you a second picture of the same "mermaid" woman. It is grafically perfect in my eyes, shows as well the use of Christo's installation but needs more knowledge of the circumstances. Who will recognize the fabrics as belonging to the Floating Piers?

 

By the way: consider that you always had been in that place together with several thousand visitors too. You had to be fast, very fast. Fast in seeing situations and fast in framing, fast in photographing.

I really like very very much the first shot, the framing and the light! Well done!

No dogs allowed? - Very reasonable!

Dogs with muzzle were allowed  -  but what has this to do with the pictures?

Never mind - didn't notice any dogs on your pictures, so I presumed a general ban.

Ok, you will get two :-))

Third one?  Please:

 

(You see, even the muzzle restriction was not taken too seriously...)
