A walk around Melbourne

I'm in Melbourne for work at the moment and on Sunday I jumped on a tram and went shooting.
These shots are from Chapel Street, Prahran & Lygon Street, Carlton & Melbourne CBD.
1) Chapel St, Prahran

6) Carlton
7) State Libary - Swanston Street, Melbourne
8) State Libary - Swanston Street, Melbourne
9) Flinders Street Station, corner Flinders & Swanston Street
10) Federation Square - corner Flinders & Swanston Street
11) Melbourne City skyline
12) Melbourne City skyline
13) Melbourne City skyline
I'd love some C&C on these as I'm pretty happy with them but want to know how I could have made them better. However I notice I'm a bit lazy, like not crossing the street to get a better shot of the church.
Cheers
Paul

You've got some nice views here, and they capture some of the qualities of the place - relaxed, sociable, affluent, an eye to the past and the future, and to high quality of product and experience. The big influence of the south Pacific climate on the lifestyle of the south eastern seaboard is also apparent.
More careful and deliberate composition, more careful shooting (there are some where the sky is blown out), and especially some work on colour and IQ generally in post, would improve many of these a lot, I think.

Thanks Neil. I'm yet to do start doing any post work on my shots, including crop, colour. Also I think I'm feeling a bit self-conscious when I'm out shooting. I've done the day in Melb and the day in Sydney and I have that feeling that I'm being watched and it puts me off a bit. So when a shot might look better crouching or standing in the way of people I feel weird. The motorshow in Melb is coming up next week and I plan to go to that, lots of togs out for that and I wont feel so self-conscious.

I think that's a common experience. Well, one technique to meet a phobia thing like this is flooding. Get dressed in your most notice-attracting clobber, drape and attach all the photographic gear you have, your biggest lens - a 70-200 f2.8 would be ideal, and go out there and do the poser thing 100% and generally get in everyone's way! Next time you go out as your ordinary self you won't feel a thing! D
Wish I was there!!

You photos aren't bad by any means but with a touch of pp'ing could be really great. You could straighten most of these shots with Adobe LightRoom 2.......for 99.9% of all my processing is doen with LR2....unless there is something really wrong and I need theextra power of PhotoShop or I decide to take a photo into another realm of an alternate reality.
Keep shooting and posting.
