Hi All, thank you for all your input, comments and suggestions.
After looking at the photos in b&w vs color, I don't see color would be better due to plain sky and obvious shadow on the lake so I will not edit and post it.

Great images which I think will be good any way you go with them. Is it possible that in the second the horizon is a little off. I'm looking at the end of the lake.

Thanks Chuck, I fixed the slightly tilted horizon.
Real nice B&W's. I agree that this is "ART" not science where you have to go back and prove the Materials & Methods used to validate the photographs. If his intentions are strictly to provide an artistic expression in B&W, then that's all that matters. In fact, some cameras don't even take color such as the Leica "M" 246 and Red Digital Cinema makes a CMOS sensor that only does monochromatic photos.
I converted a Canon 6D last year to an infrared high enough that it only sees infrared in the 800nm's which is generally monochromatic. It's a very unique type of black and white!
Thanks for comment, I see that in certain photos Or subjects with not so optimum light B&W edits could yield better results.
