I agree. the first one is good either or, but some filtration would have enhanced the phosphorescence of the moss and giving the green a striking look. the dock scene was printed as it should have been. black and white. One thing to remember for those shooting only negative film. You can print colour negs to black and white print paper easy enough, however, the dyes involved usually tend to flatten the image requiring a higher contrast filter. Also, the image might not seem as "tight" in the final print. Best if you want B&W as the end result, then use B&W film. Great shots both Michelle. I am a big fan of Tri X in the 120 and 4x5 formats. It has excellent range and good grain. I have a tendancy to go to more "obtuse" B&W film when in the 35mm format.
