Anything to bring out these pictures and get rid of the flat look
Went down after school to Waterfall gully, Adelaide
Colour or B&W. B&W is too busy for my liking

definitely colour - for the first two, a little PP will bring these to life - up the contrast and saturation and see what you think... thes might make a good subject for a PP challenge. Do you mind if I have a go?

just a couple of minute play with the first, might have overdone saturation, but just gives an idea of how you can add vibrance to a shot...

I agree with Jase on the first one. I just had a quick play as well and did something very similar, but eased off a little on the saturation. Post Processing will get you different results depending on what programs you have available to use. Programs like Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Lightroom2 and Capture NX2 all have their own unique little features which offer something the others don't, or alternately, do better than the others so sometimes you might even want to process an image in several different applications to achieve what you want. This is where shooting raw images has its big advantage, giving you much greater latitude to process without degradation of the finished file. If you process jpgs though, remember that 'less is best' with adjustments to avoid image degradation.
