I'm fine with both versions, but I do have a preference for the monos (especially the church and the empty canal). Then again, I'm a real sucker for monochrome'd IR.

The last shot is beautifully detailed, and the colours are really nice. Well done.

Lovely. I have a preference for #3 and would love to see it in monochrome .

Interesting set, Bill, in that the circumstances seem to have driven some of your photographic choices more than they might have had the place been deserted.
The first two images especially: get in real close and shut out the crowd for #1; take the bull by the horns and embrace the crowd for #2. I like both very much.
#1 is beautifully textured and shaped, with the stillness of the water offering a welcome softness in contrast. The image is dark, yet all manner of light is being diffused. A powerful image. (yes, I see the touch of green and it's nice, but this one is all about the light).
#2 works well in response to #1. There is life here, both mossy (see, I saw it ;-D ) and human (and probably much else which we do not see). It works well on it's own, too, the visitors giving a sense of scale and outlining the curved hump on which they are.
I'm hoping you stretched the inspiration that gave you those two images and made more, a set of each would be wonderful, and a refreshing take on the causeway.
I'm not dissing the rest though! I think what I like most about 3-13 is the tale of darkness they are recounting. Perhaps a reordering of the images would bring out a stronger storyline, though? Individually, #12 strikes me the most, not for the leading line out to the horizon, but for the multiple oceans of varying size and depth seeminly seeping into the rocks, themselves sinking into the larger stretch of ocean beyond. An unrelenting cycle, coming from the depths of time...

Very graphic. I like the darker moody ones (1, 3, 4).
