#1 It has interesting color, maybe little to grayish, or not enough saturation or contrast? It looks like you have a dust particle on the sensor -in the middle of the left side.
#2 I think it would look better with completely clear sky (or maybe more interesting clouds).
#3 Where was it taken? I like the sky, the shapes of the building are intriguing. I wonder if cropping of 1/3 of the upper part of the sky would give a better panoramic effect. |

| #3 was taken from the park around the Cloisters museum on 190th Street in NYC. I had the camera pointed accross the Hudson. |

#1 -- I would try and leave all the other lighting alone while making the writing and lights on the building a brighter white so they pop out a little more -- it will add the missing points of contrast while not affecting the overall tone.
#2 -- I don't care for the clouds/contrails bleeding off the top edge. I'd try cloning out the top section of each, leaving them pointing like an arrow to the central tree.
#3 -- Cropping to a panorama as previously suggested might make it look more dramatic. I'd also push the larger areas of clear sky towards a darker purplish color, but I am NOT an expert on color adjustment and that's also just a matter of personal preference. Good job minimizing the blown-out area nearest the sun ... I find that the hardest part of getting a good sunset.
