I also love no.2 - the angle you've captured these familiar festive things is different, and well, so very typical of the unique way you 'see' things Matt.
My fave is the beach at Manly, as already mentioned - the mono conversion gives it a feeling of a long time ago. There are several prints around the markets in Manly that are taken from a very similar viewpoint from the 40's and 50's, not a bikinni to be seen, and the gents wore suits and top hats - on the beach! wtf!!?
