You are getting a lot of these candid street shots lately. And,, you're good at it too. The reflection and color in the window with the artwork across it is what gets my attention, and then there's the girl sitting on her hands.

Edge of the Storm

I think that it's pretty cool looking when the clouds on the east side of the sky color up like this at sunset. It occurs here in S Florida about once a month, and to this level about once every couple of months. It is beautiful when it happens.

That town has a lot of history, both modern and long ago. This is a nice shot. Key West seems pretty small in this shot. Some of my ancestors lived there for a while, but back then it had a whole different kind of craziness.
A smaller aperture like f5.6 or 8 would have made the whole image sharper if your camera was stable.
How did you manage to get the rooftop view? Is there a tiki bar up there?

Space . .

Got a grin here. I can still remember when the first men were going into space. The Sci Fi flicks had a field day with it during the 50's, when people had never been into space.

The water looks like glass in this shot. I have never tried water drop photos yet, but I hear that it isn't that easy to get good ones.

This is interesting to me because the lights seem to be on around the one island on the right, though, by the low curve of the rainbow, and the sunlight on the left island, I am thinking that the sun was pretty high in the sky.
It's quite a pretty place. A place where I would like to be.

The desat and vignette put the subject right out front in this. Although the original would be interesting, the processing makes the shot for this one. I also though elephant when I saw the thumbnail.

This looks like three auto exposure shots merged. The uneven gradient in the sky is hard to control in these super wide images. Try shooting bracketed exposures, without changing aperture or focus, then find the images that merge best. Another option is to shoot all manual. Take the primary shot using auto, check the settings, then shoot all of the shots using that aperture- shutter speed combo.
Have a look at the exif of the originals used in this, and see if exposure changed from one to the next. If it did, then that's the problem. The bright staircases on the sides probably caused EV to change, making the sky darker.
