i think all of them could get dinged for a property release, and the composition just doesn't do it for me on "Clock", way to tight from side to side and tons of left over room on the top and bottom. My eye tries hard to flip this to a horizontal shot.

These are all very noisy and a couple are soft focus. And what would they sell?

The clock tower is underexposed, soft and noisy. You shot this wide open f-5.6. Stop down at least one stop for the sweet spot and the extreme end of the focal range, 18mm, is not the best on the lens.

Just curious.. what happened from the time you joined till now? Windows is your best shot but what would a buyer use it for?Whats to concept or story. Not every image needs one but..It sure helps.
