For me #2 is the pick of these - really interesting angles and shapes - although maybe just a little could be cropped from the top - to about the bottom of the window on the far right (emphasis on sky here slightly distracts from all the interesting stuff underneath).
The other two seem a little dark in the areas I want to see (but this might be my monitor :wink

2 for me too. In 1 and 3 you've exposed for the sky (good decision ) so you will need to lift the shadows in PP. In Lighrroom this could be via fill light + contrast, or brightness + blacks, or curves. Or a combination of all three!

It looks like you had a good day out. I like the composition in all three. I agree re cropping no.2, and attempting to lighten the shadows of 1,3.
If I had to choose just one, the I really like the tones in 2.

Thanks for the comments.
I have been struggling to get a good sky (often overexposed) so glad I did a good job in 1 & 2- my PP skills are a little rudimentary but I will have a look at tryng to bring out the shadows (I may lose the sky though?). 2 definately needs cropping but I wouldnt have seen it without the comments- I think I have a tendancy to crop left and right but sometimes forget top and bottom.
Very constructive, cheers
