I really like the tack sharp focus that Ansel Adams brought to the scenes he captured.[1] I later learned that he revisited the same places over and over in search of just the right mood, etc. I used to do the same thing when I worked in Chicago.
Myself, I'm into landscapes, time-lapses, and virtual-focus/synthetic aperture photography, though it's been quite a long time since I was able to venture forth and take photos. Here's my old "Top 100" folder from those days[2]
True, Ansel Adams really was a master of his craft. I have to study his work more, he has some amazing photographs! The black and white really does something for the picture, I always thought that the contrast it is able to bring out without being too much is very pleasable to the eye.
I took a look at your photos - a lot of them are good! The ones with the same person multiple times in the frame kinda threw me for a loop. How did you achieve that?
Stand in one place, take several pictures as the person walks/rides across, then use Hugin[1] to align the images, outputting each as a TIF. Then import those as layers, and use masking to compose them into the final image with GIMP[2].
If you're more prepared, you could just use a tripod to skip the need for alignment.
