Things have been a bit quite on the forum lately so I thought I'd stick a few on for comment.

You have an interesting set. The girls looking out of
the Hungry Jacks give the impression of something
else more appropriate in the red light district. I like
the B&W and the second althought it is difficult to
see what attracts those three people at the blue
door.

The first one works really well, especially in the rain and the last one is good too. I find the middle two don't have a point of interest for me and don't work so well. The last one might be better cropped a bit further and maybe with the verticals corrected.

Shame about the sign in the foreground if the hungry jacks one. I love it otherwise, very well seen.

#1 - excellent use of black and white (or should I say greyscale)

#2 - Too saturated for my liking

#3 - There is no focal point

#4 - Now this is interesting. I agree that the sign is off putting but the idea of a Hungary Jacks brothel is fascinating.

I like the last the best Matt - I reckon you might be able to almost square crop that window (but leave it angled/slanted) to remove some of the other distractions

Museum station could only be B/W Matt, and you've done well.

I have revisited and looked at these a few times (sorry for artificially raising the view count) and have decided that I dont mind #1 and #3, the Chinatown shot is a bit too random and accidental shutter release feeling for me and the last feels like it needs a crop to get rid of that signage at the bottom.

#1 does feel like there are too many people in it, if you only had the group in the middle or the guy with the umbrella it would be a real winner!
#3 would be stronger if the guy on the sign was facing towards the camera or even just towards the left of the frame, but it is a nice image as is. The other thing that troubles me is the pole that impales him through the head.
