Love the composition of photo 1, though if i was being really critical I find the black sky overdone - was that achieved via post-processing or via a red filter + cpl filter .

Again really like number 3, the clouds are very dramatic. Nice grain too - was this from a digital or film camera?

There were all done in Photoshop, using the silver efex plugin. Love silver efex, but the full version is 199€, and I'm not willing to spend that kind of money at the moment.

love em all, but agree the first one has a tad to much black...mayve reduce the contrast a wee bit?

I'll try that later, but I think you could be right.

Great set. Looking at the colour really makes the B/W images stand out.
# 1. I dont like it, way to black but the the other photo of the wreck I really like.

Of your first set Number 3 is my favourite but I do like them all.

You have some excellent composition, but black and white really doesn't do the area justice!
