I'm not a big black and white person, I prefer lots and lots of colours in photos myself. However, I thought these really needed some "sepia-izing". These were taken in full colour, but didn't do much for me until I photoshopped them to sepia. Please tell me what you think (in all areas, composition, colour -- is this the right colour of sepia?, etcetera)

Taken while hiking yesterday with my A70. Thanks for looking!

Very nice. The sepia tone is suitable for a 1905 structure. You may wish to fix the tilt of the images though, the photos seem to lean to the right.

The long exposure time helps with the feeling of an old photo.

My favourite is the first. The overblown sky, silky water falls, and detail in the rocks, are all really nice here.

Thanks! I didn't even think about the way they were tilted until you pointed it out. Heh.
