I like the top one a lot. The middle and last have some unfortunate distractions.

The top one works for me as well.

Top one is good the others need a few distractions removing and a little more punch added as they look flat. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The first imagine is the strongest of the group.

The bottom two photos does not quite qualify to look good in b&w.
Look at websites on b&w portfolios. See what stirs your heart.
Study the images and decide why they work and decide on a topic for you.
Remember, simplicity makes good b&w images.
