GK,

I like the composition and the tones look nice everywhere except for the sky. You might consider darkening the clouds and bringing up the whites.

I haven't been down Corpus Christie way in many a year. I had an aunt who lived there, and we would vacation at Padre when we lived in Dallas. I'm sure it's changed a lot since the fifties!

I like the comp and B&W conversion. I agree with Preston's recommendation regarding the sky, also I would look at either cropping out or cloning out the car on the right side. Looks out of place to me. :toast:

Nice. Wonderful subject. Love the texture of the water - rippley but reflective. As others have mentioned, the sky could use more contrast. There are distinct halos on the three poles, an apparent artifact of processing - usually see it with HDR.
