    Great shots, you've got a couple of excellent ones there. I like the archway framing the second one!

    I like the second shot a lot, the colour in the other quite monotone setting is really quite vivid.

    I'd say that is a typically english image as seen from abroad, but perhaps something that UK residents just take for granted?

    Both images are very cool. Both are very different but very attractive.

    I like these...The second would probably even look cool with selective coloring on just the red coat.

    I think I like the original the way it is. It's almost selective coloring on its own. And making the rest of it black and white loses the luminous appeal of the lamps, and the contrast of the green bushes.

    Nice job Fred.

    I'm with shuttered on this, the image looks good as it is. You need to look at it to see that it is "as taken", and not modified afterwards
