Good to see you continuing this theme. I like the variety. Keep 'em coming
I like this set asnow!
Even though it's night, I still think I'd try to dodge 10% or so from the black buildings and midground structure (the darkest element in the shot aside from the sky) in shot 1. I'd also straighten the the buildings.
You are happy for critique anywhere in the forum so I'd like to mention the B&W here. Might just be me, but they all feel a little 'muddy' to me. By this I mean they have a grey tone feeling and need much more contrast to be appealing as a B&W to me. I think the first one really needs colour. However, I do like all other elements in all these. Lovely lighting in the last two.
I agree I was bothered by the fact that they were a little muddy as well. I tried to bring out the black, but it didn't seem to work. I may have reassess what I'm doing. (Exposures, Processing). My fist couple of attempts at this a couple of months ago weren't like this.
As for the dome building in the foreground (Roy Thompson Hall), I thought it was lit more from the inside than this. It was pretty black, so it made it pretty challenging.
This one is much better. I figured out that in order to get the darkness I was underexposing too much. This version was exposed at least two stops longer so I was able to bring up the blacks and contrast without losing all the detail. A bit more refining (another shoot???) and maybe it is ok.
This version is much better imo.
