Isac requested to see my B/W Sunday in the city images in colour, so here they are.

#2 The 'G'


#3 City skyline


#4 Seafarers Bridge.


#5 Evan walker Bridge minus the filters. Note the people crossing the bridge.

Lovely work mate. Those colours are fabulous! To me the people walking about aren't that much of an issue, because they are so small in the images but I see where you're coming from and It's still nice to have them gone though. Still nice to have them gone though. There's a guy in our Perth Photography Group who takes stunning architectural images of Perth buildings and he gives them a great look by dropping the blues and cyans to darken the sky, which highlights the buildings and makes them pop. Here's the settings I used on your #1 pic to give it that type of look,with just a B&W adjustment layer.

I gave these settings a try and the result was pretty speccy. Thanks for posting.

Cheers mate. The BW adjustment in PS has improved out of sight and is very powerful. Couple it with ACR and it gives you more options when using the Texture, Clarity and Dehaze sliders.

I prefer the b/w to be honest....

I am finding these colour versions a bit warm. The photos are lovely though..:-)

[Grumpy John]

These are pretty much SOOC Mark, so no processing done on them.

I did an"Auto Curves" on #1 and it completely changed the colours to more realistic.

They do look a bit yellow John, although not unattractive, even if SOOC, still a very nice set.

I prefer the B&W images - something about the added level of abstraction from reality emphasizes the shapes. I think #3 is the exception where the colour version appeals to me as much as the B&W
