Catching up; we had house guests Thurs. to Tues.
I liked many of the images. There are several I personally liked that I
wouldn't enter in a contest and others that I would.
I generally agree with your comment about tonality of the B&Ws. I would
handle the skies with separate layers, rather than force the whole image
for dark skies.
I particularly liked 895, 909, 910, 915, 939, 950, 963, 965 and 975. I
also liked 941, 955, 956, 971 and 988, but am not sure others would find
them interesting enough.
I couldn't resist playing with a few, which also allows me to illustrate
a couple of points.

That new lens of yours has some 'interesting" characteristics. In 921,
both edges of the left pillar bow out, while those of the right pillar
bow in opposite directions.

Then look at the upper left, where the window swoops up. The same thing
shows up in 625, where the roof line looks like it bends. Maye the
building is raising an eyebrow about what has been done on the front?

It's there again in 914, 915 and 920, where even after correcting the
barrel distortion, what I assume should be a fairly horizontal detail on
the building on the left swoops up.
Looks to me like there is a decentered element/group, as the effect is
only in one corner.
I hope the rest of my alternate approaches are self-explanatory. No, I
don't think my treatments of 910 and 991 (oops, there's that raised
eyebrow swoop again) are natural; I see them as abstracts.
