A very interesting body of work!

Most of the shots are real attention getters.

I'm only confused about the first image. Why did you allow the more distant building to be so far out of Plumb?

Thanks for the comments!

Well with the first shot I thought it was cool to have a old building in with a new building. So with that in mind I found a place where the eye is drawn to the clock and then the shine off the distant building. I had to wait forevvvver to get a clear street (it was around 2pm on a monday downtown 8X)

You have some good images here Trevor, although too many.
It's easier to give critique if there are just one or two choices.
I like #7, #9, and #1.
I think all that could help # 7 is to eliminate the trees on the right, the building leads your eye right to the Tower. Very gritty and interesting photo in a lot of ways.
#9 is a good descriptive photo, although it is too centered, it would make a good pamphlet photo.
#1 has good contrast between the subjects and looks well exposed. Buildings, except one in Piza, should be vertical. Otherwise, good picture

i would really take these more seriously if not for the ridiculous signature that i had to strain to read.

that said, in #5 (and maybe some of the others) you have to watch out for the border between the sky and everything else, since it looks like you tried to darken the sky in a separate layer or something. the crazy halo you get isn't worth it, so maybe either put more effort into it or try feathering the layer or try a different approach. it also looks like you used the burn tool on the bottom left of the sky, which doesn't look so good.

i like the color/contrast and overall the pp work in #6. even though it's pretty heavy, i think it works. i kind of think that it would be better without that gold ball structure, but what can you do.
