#1 is pretty neat, I personally like it.
#2 doesn't do much for me.
#3 almost look like a color sepia rather than Black and White. But I like the composition.

I think #3 would be the overall best if it was more B&W rather than greyscale.

#1 is truly unique. I really like it.
#2 is unoriginal
#3 is a really good opportunity in waiting...a storm sky would make that pic epic. Something to maybe visit later.

You did a really really good job with the contrast on those! To me they look like they could have been shot on B&W film (and I used to be a B&W custom printer, pre-digital).
The last shot is my favourite.

Are you using a calibrated monitor? I like the second one the best, but the background looks a tad too dark on my calibrated monitor. However, it doesn't look too bad on this laptop screen.

Thanks for commenting!

I like #1 the best.

I like the processing I did to #2, but the composition is a little unexciting. I'm also bothered by the small bit of concrete on the left.

I have no idea what I was thinking on 3 I blame insomnia's effect on my eyeballs.
The minute I saw it when I uploaded it I realized it looked like crap. I was going to change it, but I figured I let people crap on it first.

Here's a better (?) version.

Thanks again for taking the time. Much appreciated.
