The cup seems to lean a little but I really like this one. Nice colors, could have used a little more DOF but it is a stand out. 9

I'm torn on this one. The blue roof is really cool, but the rest of the picture is blah for color. When that occurs, I recommend B&W and go with textures and shapes. I pulled this into PS and tried a B&W treatment. The blue channel gave it some nice moodiness and then I really upped the contrast and lowered the brightness (+30/-30). It, to me, gives it more of an actual old feel. However, then I don't get to see that cool blue roof, so I don't know. The other criticism is the roof is very centered. Cropping or composition should have thrown that subject to one side or the other.
The technicals are well done except you shot at midday and that always leads to a less interesting picture. The same at sunrise or sunset would likely have been better.

good, but a little flat in the lighting

Very flat light has robbed this of a possible sense of magic, of real age i think. The composition is quite clumsy too - the blue tower/minaret is the obvious draw in this image, and your placement of it in frame doesn't do anything to aid the movement of the eye through the frame; a corner, a thirds line, at a point of joining of the various lines implied by the roofs ... but here the window and the distance have an equal draw and make the whole rather difficult to enjoy.

Great composition. I love the contrast between the old and the new (I spy the golden arches in the corner!)

Very interesting scene. The black railing is a bit of a distraction.
