LIke those... They mean more to me because of the brown color. I associate that with old, warm, cosy...
I think the pictures have more impact with the sepia. Nice mattes you used!
Do you mean that you convert to greyscale? Mike said that, too, I thought.
I am afraid to do that, for fear I won't be able to get the color back. I used to use channel mixer, like the big guys here. It was not working for me that well, so I now use hue/saturation, and, of course, I can go right to sepia from there.
Right now I am putting a tad of black, from selective color, in both blk and white and color, sepia, whatever. Sometimes more sometimes just a plus 3, or something. It seems to add something.
However I do really like your sepia. And the photos.
One is too yellow, the top one might be too red, just in the boat, didn't look carefully. I do like the one Rutt, et al, like. I think rather than just rotate, if I were you I would "pull out" the keystoning. the perspective thing, on the right side is where I really notice it.

I convert the image to b n w, the go to image/variations, then play with the red and yellow till it looks right to me.

I like this one, but I'd like it better w/o the tilt to the left.
Perhaps a small clockwise rotation of this one to get the vertical elements really vertical.
The water tower is especially nice.

Snappy is great at working with keystoning.
