Nice work again Barrie - I like #2 the most, It'd be cool having a small person in the shot, dead centre back towards camera looking up.
All these images are nice and crisp - which lens?

1,2 and 4 are the 10-20 Sigma, the 3rd was the Tamron 28-75 F2.8

Nice stuff Barrie, I really like the first one, did you PP the light like that ?
I agree with Geoff, something to put shot 2 in scale (a small child) would make the shot stronger for me.
#4 Is great, love the reflections
#3 is the only one that doesn't seem to work for me, not sure if thats because I'm used to you and the Sigma.

Thanks Craig - The first one, I reduced saturation in the yellow areas to make the blue stand out.
The other shots have no PP at all
The third one - I just liked the various colours and the glass (maybe not the strongest composition possible)

Oh how different we all are.
#3 is the standout for me - I like the multilayered composition and the contrasting colours and having some people in shot gives a great sense of scale.
#1 I like next best - for the contrast between the white and the blue. Compositiona ppeals too.
#4 - looks kinda odd to me because the relfections are streaked as if the camera moved. Other than that I like it.
For me #2 is the worst since there isn't much to hold my attention - moreso because it's pretty much one colour.
Thanks for sharing these Barrie.

No problem Stubbsy, thanks for all the comments
With #4 - the reflections are on a moving river and the shutter was open for 15 seconds, so would account for the streaking I guess

Barrie,
You're really getting value out of your gear
I like what you've done with all 4.
#2 looks like it's in some nuclear bunker and a big steel door is going to slam shut any minute

I like how you've captured the curves and lines.

2nd one is my favourite, probably because nightscapes no longer hold my interest
