Good compositions. Gear used for these?

I bought a new one this summer from a local company - SRB Photographic in Dunstable. It is well-built from anodised aluminium and multi-coated glass, and its movement is smooth and suitably damped. Not having used one before, its effect of deepening the blue of the sky was pleasantly surprising. This is Castle Pomeroy, a ruined castle in Devon:

The bikes look great and I would imagine that they sounded great too. It would be even better to see them without the cars, which looks as though it might have been possible with the first but perhaps not the second.

I thought I might like a colour version...and I do...version A.

Yes, #5 is great - and, if the stone and sky are similar to #1, a colour version would probably also appeal to me.

Number 2, with the curved track leading to the tree, would be my choice as the best composition of the four, but the white-out sky seems over-powering, and the image feels more comfortable to me when the sky is toned down a bit with a gentle graduation.

Thanks for your comments. They were all taken with a Pentax KP and Pentax-DA f4 15 mm ED AL wide angle. Great little lens and a delight to use. I find using a prime lens gives a sense of freedom... one less decision to make I suppose.
Best wishes

(I like using the Limited primes on the KP - the combo feels good in the hand. Anything bigger on the KP than the 20-40 Limited zoom feels less comfortable to me, even with the largest grip.)
Cheers.
