I definately prefer the colour to the mono versions.
And the colour, original, is my pick, just a more uplifting and vibrant image. BUT I would say you have got a better and more balanced crop on the mono shot. Hope this helps, sometimes one can spend too much time looking at images.

I love the 'mono (Topaz)' version. It has something dramatic in it. Well done
Kind regards

They all look pretty good to me!
I find the differences between 1/2 and 3/4 to be pretty minimal to be honest. 4 is my least favourite, because of the HDR look in the bottom quarter. If I had to pick just 1 I'd probably go for 3. Or 1.

Number 1 for me.
2 & 3 look a little flat and on 4 the surface of the apply looks odd.
But, then again, I'm at work using a horrible monitor.

First I thought colour (for once) then those mono shots make you fpcus on the lines rather than the sky. Then...I can't make up my mind, Jon. I honestly think (as so often) if the shot's a true classic then it will work whatever, however the treatment.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Hear hear - what Andrew said.First I thought colour (for once) then those mono shots make you fpcus on the lines rather than the sky. Then...I can't make up my mind, Jon. I honestly think (as so often) if the shot's a true classic then it will work whatever, however the treatment.
I have one other consideration, and that is a look at the images accepted at PPG - on that account the first colour one is on the right track.

Modern architecture looks equally good to me in either mono or colour but mono often accentuates graphic lines better. I like this set but #1 and #4 work best for me.
