On the whole I think this group of images would be much stronger in black and white, because the color not only doesn't add anything to the images, but rather, it distracts... And you think they had a BW viewfinder? They composed in color, even if the shot was BW. I don't think I know of a single photographer who used a blue filter outside of movie guys.
