That's 'cos you forgot the mandatory black architectural figure - has Darren taught you nothing?! 
Nice anyway, especially the first. Maybe straightening the verticals in the second?

Must get me one of those shadowy characters...can't be a serious architectural photographer without one

Love the Circus Corner with its tones, Rob.
Must admit Gillon would wish to have the sky you have on North St David Street.
Imho you just need an LF with a longer lens.

Thanks, Brian. I'm amazed I managed to snap this one with no traffic - that's a VERY busy street.

they're not blurry?? 
very nice shots. the second is my favorite, would like to see it straightened up a bit. or is it my laptop sitting skewed?
love the angle on the first. though the building looks like it's bowed in on the left side.

lol. I'm pretty sure that building actually is bowed on the left side, Beth. (Silly old architect!)

Yes, it is curved. The street is called Royal Circus - circus meaning round.
I don't think I'm cut out for architectural photography! I don't really care about straight verticals or curves. I like the buildings, though

that makes sense. circus to me means animal house..

I'm with you...I just like the buildings and hardly care if they are vertical. Of course that may also have to do with my stability.

We should form a club for the vertically-challenged photographers...

Like the second the best. I think the lack of vehicles is not too sinister just the price of petrol. The streets do make for some good photos when empty, or a lone figure.
