These are just some of the photos I have taken this week while in Philly on business. C&C welcome.

#1 - Skyline from Philadelphia Museum of Art (Rocky Steps) - not entirely pleased with this - too fuzzy.

i really like #2 but it looks like it could use a bit of CW rotation (or maybe by head is off)

Thanks to both of you for the comments. I like the second one a lot too. Pyro701n, you may be right. The more I look at it, the more I think it needs a little CW rotation.

I like #3. They all seem to be a bit out of focus.

That is a good point rczeien. I struggle with getting my photos exactly in focus. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have tried both manual and auto focus and multiple lenses, but my photos often seem just a tad out of focus. Oddly enough, I feel like they look very sharp in the viewfinder. I have tried making minor adjustments, but still seem to have the problem. I suppose I just need to practice, but it sure is frustrating.
