Went to Aroma Coffee @ The Rocks today, and only had two coffees!
Took quite a few pics though, and thought I'd have a go at some creative PP work for a change...
70-300G @155mm, f7.1 1/320th ISO200 (with a little help from NikEffects)
Standard Kit lens @70mm, f11 1/30th ISO200 (desaturated and tinted)
EDIT: Updated first pic for colourspace change

First shot to me looks over exposed. Im not keen on the treatment you used. second shot is a nice B&W im guessing at Governer Phillip Tower. Nice one.

Hmmm, the first seems too "high key"(?) for me, but I really like the second. Nice tones and the glimpse of the bridge gets me in...

Have just realised I didn't change the colourspace on the dancer - have updated the file on smugmug, you may need to refresh to see it.
Hopefully that helps with the vision

Leon. I actually like the first one, it's got a faded 1960's transparency look about it. So if that was the look you were after, it's good. If that wasn't your goal, whoops...

Leon, number 2 is very good, I like it a lot.
The first one is almost there, maybe try desaturating by, say 50%, to enhance the aged look? Just a thought, but nice experiment.

A couple of options:
The original (on the left) from the NEF file, converted to JPG with no adjustment. And a further development with Greg's suggestion of less saturation (on the right).
I still like this pic, if only for two reasons: 1 - it's the 70-300G, 2 - it's something quite different for me.

I like the original better. It has a certain........energy? Impact?
I also like your second shot. Youv'e added a sense of drama to it. Nice work!

Rather than start a new thread with other PP'd pics of similar style, I thought I'd show them here. As I said, I'm trying something I don't normally play with...
Standing Guard:
50mm, f3.5 1/125th ISO320
Closer crop to show clarity:
Going down:
12-24DX@15mm, f4.5 1/15th ISO1600

I like the B&W in the first grouping, and I really like 'standing guard' - I've had multiple goes at that statue in Martin Place and I think your crop is what I should have been going for all this time!
Nice capture on the escalators - Wynyard?
