Love #5 but would lose half of the dark bottom.

The colours are interesting, Kris. Quite cool (n the traditional sense)and restrained, I think. looks very sharp with loads of detail.
The last one may be one of your best colour shots. Lovely gradations. Ironic, eh? Travel to the New World and take your best stuff on your door step in Herts.! Slight trim top and bottom, I think but I tend to over-crop and constrict my subjects, so who knows?
Actually I've just taken another look at Sunset in Central Park. That's a pretty decent shot too.

I am glad to say that for once that was deliberate! ... I think the real clincher and what makes it super in my eyes are the 2 smaller trees either side of it that frame the larger tree so nicely

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
Now, Kodachrome is no more and all my lectures use powerpoint leaving me free to try different films and see which one I like. I decided to try out the relatively new Kodak Ektar 100. My first impressions are very positive. Here are a few frames from my first roll shot using my MX and variety of Pentax manual prime lenses, commercial dev and scan.
1. Azalea Park, Summerville, South Carolina.
2. Fountain, Central Park, New York.
3. Frozen reservoir, Central Park, New York.
4. Sunset, Cental Park, New York.
5. Twilight in Hertfordshire
Best wishes, Kris.
