Hi Jim,

I think I would like these better in standard B&W tones. Especially  
the second one is really exquisite in terms of composition and  
sharpness, but I think that the sepia detracts rather than adds to the  
image. But maybe that's just me--I do not like sepia toning much, it  
just makes me think of old, yellowed photographs.

Cheers,
Nathan
