The first and the second are great Dave.
From a personal opinion only, I'm not a fan the tilt shift effect in PP and therefore I'd have to say that te last image doesn't appeal to me.
I think the control of the 'blur' could do with smoothing out a bit if anything as the threshold sets in uncomfortably with overhead power lines. Never the less, it's a fab POV and compostion.
The first one is a belter though, how did you get the vertical lines so straight?! Was it a top lens or was it done in PP?

Dave, I like the first one most. The rail tracks in perpendicular to the road and correct verticals on the high rise express a wonderful cityscape. Second one, I like for the fact that it shares a scene of the new and the old town. A renewal is on the way... In an abstract thinking, the parking lot road hole, the urban black hole, sits in the centre as the symbol of this renewal. I have not been to Manchester since 1981. Must have changed a lot since then.

Worth getting accosted for Dave - is there some shadow recovery in #1?

I love the first and second, but I agree with Dan about the last. The effect is fascinating, but it does change in an unfortunate spot. I'm sorry for your predicament, but I'm glad I'm not the only one to get accosted in the past few days...

These are all single shots processed for "that look" in Lightroom - so it's a clarity, vibrance and shadow boost as a staring point.

Dave I have enjoyed looking at all three images. The third is interesting and the miniturisation effect works well with the trams.

hard to pick a favorite of the three, all are great. i love the look down the street on #1. the ramp makes #2 (though the processing enhances the whole thing). tilt/shift look rocks in the 3rd.
