Or use the BW colour channel sliders to reduce the blue channel’s exposure to almost zero and increase the contrast. It is a kind of cheating perhaps :) but that's why I prefer colour photos for BW results.

The early hours of the day in Izmir’s Kordon.

Saturday was bit windy

Fishermen make for a good subject :-)

I like the lighting on the mountains in the second one here and the boat makes for an interesting foreground subject.

In the third the mountain range looks good, turning red, presumably in the setting sun. I'm not a fan of big cruise ships but I suppose it does make for a good subject.
The ship is in shadow and looks fairly blue, and the mountain and its forest also has a bit of a blue feel to it. I'm assuming the ship was more white and if the white balance is "corrected" to make the ship more white then mountain also shines out with a brighter, even more reddish glow.
Here's an edit just to make it a bit warmer, does that work for you ?

The black and white wavy pattern on the path looks good and grabs your attention.The street lights take you all the way along the promenade.
I like the way the ship, with its reflection, and all the houses along the coatline are all nicely lit. It's the way that the rest is so dark that make those lights really shine out !

Wow, the splashes are reaching up to the clouds ;-)

I've been waiting for the light to be right as I pass this spot nearly everyday...

151025 autumn purple field by softmarmotte, on Flickr

It's a lovely image. The purple and the autumn colours in the trees are gentle, and go together well.
That sky is interesting and has a (presumably) "sunset is just beginning" feel to it.
The little thin line of rim lighting at the very edge of the purple field, picking up some of the light shining through the trees, is a nice touch too
