Distortion can be pretty ugly with this lens (I've lots of grotesque images to show myself), but keeping the subject centered keeps things under control I think. The low angle helps too. I like this spare reality as only bw can do. Lucky with the comp too if I understand how you shot it, but sometimes that's instinctive too.
I'm guessing from the distortion that you were at the wide end of the zoom range, and you were much closer to these people than it appears in the image.
True. It was an instinctive hip shot, as I was with my back to them, and didn't notice them coming.
Interesting image. The old man reminds me of my father.

It seems there is a large amount of distortion going on here. Not sure if it helps or hurts the image, or if it matters at all. It's nice to see what I am presuming to be a father and son taking a walk.
I like this one, the exposure on the subject is good, you have the lines of that rail leading to/from them from/to the right, there is a kind of motion in the front part of the wheel chair, all very nice. Only small thing I would change is the crop, I think you can crop part of the road, placing the people more on the rule of thirds
