[C&C begged] Beginner's Shots for photo story project

A complete newbie in both photography and Photoshop.

I'm making a photo story book with a "Boston and I" theme for a photography short course that I'm taking. That being said, I avoid too many touristy pictures (although some of them are )

C & C are very much appreciated!

Here are some of them that I thought were decent...

Image #1
I'm worried about the color

I'm a beginner too and don't know much but I think the top two are fine. The color gives it a pretty unique appearance... The rest are awesome too!

#3 is the best of the lot( to me)....love the destaurated colors...very city like.

#1,2.For me, I would rather see complete B&W conversion instead of the tint you haver given them? Just a preference for me.

Not ever having been in Boston.the last one wouldn't show me Boston, would it?

oozma, thank you

Flo, yeah I put a tint to it. I tried only B&W, and I can't make it look not-flat. Maybe should try harder .

On the last one, I agree, doesn't depict Boston so much to me either. It's just an image of ceiling from a restaurant/lounge (in Boston South End) I went to the other day. I kinda like the place, and kinda like how the image turned out. Maybe not to be put in this series. Thanks for your feedback!
