Hi Peter. Sorry that I missed the thread since the traffic at pentaxforums has been rather huge these days!
I like the first version and a great effort in cleaning up the noise. I had pain dealing with high ISO images after some event photography, especially in skin tone rendering of people.
You cleaned out the noise really well and I like the overall mood. The light tower is really echoing the colour in the sky.
The black and white version has a bit of dry brush or pastel look to it and it is definitely an art. I would love to hang that on my wall. Sure not a lot of people appreciate that style since I had been trying that look for some time (only to get comments like "Fa 43 should not give you that kind of image quality blah blah blah)
