Although I find the handling of the sepia adjustment just a little too harsh (use the opacity toll to take it bake a little softer) I think I prefer this to the bw---- but crop it as you have done the black and white----sorry I realise that you are getting advise from everyone but hey, we all learn from each other---being able to comment on each others work really adds growth----I find you look at your work through new eyes----Lynne

HI again, like the sepia version ( a little over done even by my standards) would still crop the top as i like the wide view you have on the B&W version...its all a learning curve and personal preferences in the end. Thanks and have a good one.

I'm somewhere in the middle, like the BW crop a lot, think it loses something with the lack of color, and wish the exposure could be tamed a bit--still a bit bright, the color one that is.
Sometimes in jpeg images, at least in photoshop, adjusting the "highlights"--found in the highlight/shadow section--can help restore lost white details, and even adjusting the shadow a little, could bring a little more contrasty light to the image. Don't know what or where that might be in your application.
As Vic said, shooting in RAW will give you lots more control, however, of exposure level stuff.
Welcome aboard,
Thanks,
Wilt
