An excellent exercise. All the photos grab me except the boat. I think it's because the range of tones of that photo is too centered with not enough brightness and therefore too muddy. I've done some extremely primitive enhancement trying to expand the range of brightness values in the boat and water without doing visual violence to the buildings against the sky.
Thank you for that input. When I process black and white, inexperienced as I am, I tend to avoid letting anything get too light or too dark. I need to be less timid with those sliders. Another lesson learned.
