What does the viewfinder have to do with anything? There is a
difference, btw, between "composing in color," in which color is
presumably a factor in the composition, and "composing," in which the
composition of shapes and objects is the primary factor.

What I'm saying is that I find two of these images interesting as color
compositions...some color images are about color, just as sometimes a
cigar is just a cigar. 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.  (maybe I am wrong)
