Wow Fons...
The study in colors constituted by the first 4 is remarkable. High colors, geometry, you were very inspired I must say.
The last one I like as well but feel it doesn't belong to the series.

Great color shots of those architectural landmarks... :-) The B&W one makes for a more intimate picture ? :-)

no 1 and no 4 for me!

No 1 - faces are too saturated for me - but easily fixed in photoshop.

Colourful graphical and fun stuff yet a bit eclectic as a series.

A fully inspired series.  Impressive and amazing!

Wow Fons. That was a really colourful "sky". Nice 3D effect too. (#1 of course)

number 1 for me too, although Elsa has a point with face saturation. i would just lower the red/orange/yellow a bit.

#1 is my fav. Yes, it seems a bit over-saturated ... but that's okay ... the entire image is surreal ... over-saturation fits.

Fascinating and interesting series of images, Fons. I like the vivid, saturated colours, especially in #1. What is the building?

I think the less saturated image is a much nicer look!
