1st and 2nd shots are good! I agree with Mandrake about getting rid of the wires would make the pic more attracting!!!

It's great to see some of your pictures. I somehow missed them on my first go-through of the topics. Love the colors.... did you enhance in post-processing? If not, I would love to know your Nikon Picture Control settings in the camera.

I would do some PS work with the second photo. Maybe remove the phone/electric wires and perhaps straighten the building with the distort tool as you demonstrated in one of your videos.

Good points, Mandrake! Removal the phone/electric wires and perhaps straighten the building can improve the second picture!

Yes I enhanced the photo in Lightroom. I always shoot Raw. To my eye almost all Raw images need some kind of enhancement (more contrast, vibrance), because they haven't been processed by the camera as Jpegs.
