The perspective on this one is awesome.

Oversharpened, or at least it has that kind of halo. But great angle. I wonder why it needed to be validated. Looks like a perfectly normal shot.

I don't know if I like the angle this was taken at. I don't know where you are from (I'm guessing N.Y.), but in US culture, people usually aesthetically
like images going from left to right (since that is the way we read). Maybe try switching it and see if it looks better. Other than that, it's very dominating and poweful.

Nice. I like the dark imagery here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the angle and persp've is very good, but i think it's a bit over "enhanced" creating the glow and contrasting effects. though i think the vignette on the bottom also works well.
