I like the fourth best. I wonder how a B&W conversion would look.

That was my first intention when taking the pic  :)
How about this?

There is a distinct blue-green cast on your bw conversion. Also I think you should try to darken areas around the highlights. That may help accentuate the highlights.

Nice subjects - the second is framed really nicely too. I think that for objects like these and in your shots in particular the clear sun "may not be" the best condition for them. If you are able you might try shooting them again with similar framing in flat light/overcast sky or diffuse sunlight if possible - might be interesting to see what happens.

Good. The toning is rather heavy-handed, I think.

I think I agree. I spied on your webpage a little
I'll try it as soon  as some clouds gather. We are having a bright spring  ;)
