That first shot is simply gorgeous. Nice tonal range on your B&W images. Very nice.

 

[DBrim]

I love the last shot. Gives me vertigo!

 

[alexf]

Very nice. I like the B&W.
On the first two I would straighten the horizon.

 

[Gale]

First two are just beautiful

Need a tad straighten

Definately straighten the horizons but these are all very nice. I am particularly fond of number 3

Like the shots...was #3 the donut shop?

Thanks everyone, like I said I'm brand new at PS. These photos were my first shots in RAW and the B&W were my first conversion attempts in PS without just using grayscale. I'll try and play around with PS some more and try and straighten the horizons.

I am partial to the last shot of the staircase, I like the pure black areas and stark contrast in the image, and I also like the depth of the image too,

I really like the first 2 and the last. I have been vacationing on the Outer Banks for the last 10 years and I find it a wonderful place to stay. The lighthouse staircase is great. I would also straighten the horizons in the first two shots. My only real gripe is the copyright. It's distracting.

Yea we had a great trip, def agree about it being a wonderful place. We stayed up in Corolla on the N end of the island. I was excited I learned how to make a custom brush in PS so I was playing around with the copyright.

Still working on the horizons...I'll firgure it out

 

[Highspeed]

I think I firgured out how to fix the horizon.

by jove, I think you got it! did you do that in ACR?

 

[Highspeed]

Is ACR...Arbitrary and Rotate Canvas...if so yes that is what I used. Once I figured it out it was a lot easier then I thought it would be.

 

[dmwphoto]

No but what ever works! the beauty of photoshop is the many ways any one thing can be accomplished. ACR is Adobe Camera Raw.

 

[Highspeed]

Yea that is what I'm finding out...I was pretty overwhelmed by PS at first, I didn't know where to start. It takes me a long time to do some pretty simple edits, I just need to keep working with it

Wow....very nice. The straight horizons really make a huge difference. the lack of the copyright is also welcomed. Now all you need to do is get them printed and framed. Nice job!

Thanks everyone I really appreciate all the help.
