Interesting perspective especially in No.3
I think this would have been a good candidate for HDR. to get a bit more out of the overexposed sky.

Now this is a funky building. Great subject to use also.
I like the way #1 and #3 move you view skywards.
On my monitor #3 looks a little light. Maybe you could increase contrast and darken slightly, that would perhaps bring the clouds out a little as well?

I have to admit that it is a funky building. #2 is my favourite, how it fades into the darkness.

Great subject and excellent composition.
As mentioned the exposure of the sky could do with some work. Did you shoot in RAW? There is definitely some information hiding there and some blue in the sky might match the building very nicely.
Nice work.

Number two appeals to me more than the other two. However, I like the perpectives you have chosen to shoot this images.

I really like the last one. Very interesting point of view. I like the high contrast in these images.

Three good images, but number two is my favourite. I especially like the contrast between the black sky and the vivid colours, and also the contrast between the complexity on the right and the simple squiggley line (is that a correct photographic term?) on the left. Exposure is spot on, too.
