I rather like the latest (colour popped) version.

I was doubtful about the first pair(actually i was not sure what was i seeing); but now i know it. I liked the new revealing image much ....

The first photo shows buildings reflected off of window. The white streaks are florescent lights behind reflecting windows. I wanted to capture the sculpture as a part of its soundings. The photo below more clearly shows the reflecting window and fluorescent lights. Thank you for commenting.

I think the first is a very interesting image, with lots of interesting lines and contrasting shapes and colors. i found myself looking at it for quite a while.

I don't care for the second. I think the shapes might make it an interesting image, but I couldn't get past the cartoon-ish colors.

Interesting concept, Daniel.

The first is definitely the most unusual of the set, although I find the top right and to a lesser extent, the bottom left corners a bit overpowering.

The second image is a bit over the top with the colour scheme and the relatively uninteresting large areas of one colour. Crop off the top third of the image and it becomes more interesting.

The third one is a fairly traditional partial colourization. Leaving the green signs pulls the viewer's attention away from the main subject.

The fourth one seems too busy.

Dan , thank you for spending some time with the first image. Pleased that you found it to be of some interest. Yes the second photo is very cartoonish. I like the unrealness of the shot and amplified that in the coloring. A page out of a comic.

Manfred. thank you for commenting. I agree with you on the first image. Top right corner in particular.
On the third photo, I deliberately wanted to draw the viewers eyes to the green sign. I didn't want anyone to miss its location.

David. Thank you for being the first one to jump right in and leeave a comment. Much appreciated.

That was indeed the effect I liked in image _1080487. A nice flat look. Also reminiscent of 20's/30's travel-poster artwork.

Interesting too how the sky yellow creeps down that building frontage.
