I think they are a good start, but they seem a bit underexposed to me.

Also, in all 3, but especially the NE Capitol shot, the building needs perspective correction they seem to be falling over one direction or another.

Thanks for the comments spazmo..when you say they look underexposed does that mean that they seem dark or don't have enough light, just curious what I can do better next time, any pointers are much appreciated. Thanks again for your comments!

I think that, typically, the overall impression of a night shot should be that it was taken at night and thus the sky can go black, but there should still be a full range of dark to light tones in the subject.

Next time, try bracketing your exposures, say +1 and +2 stops over what you you tried here. There were some really good examples in the Urban Landscapes challenge and I have these in my portfolio:





They aren't the greatest, but they're already uploaded.

Have Fun!

Thanks again for your helpful comments, and for supplying pictures to illustrate what you were trying to say, very much appreciated!

Here is how I would have worked it.
Hope you dont mind I changed it.

I don't mind at all, and I like what you've done...how exactly did you do this?

First I rotated about 2 degrees, then I lightened every colour except black, then I encreased the contrast and ran unsharp mask, ended with levels and put it in b/w. But did'n work with it for more than 2 minutes, might heve been even better.

and I took out the top of the building, that was the only illegal thing a changed.
