These shots were taken from the observation deck at Rockefeller Center in NYC.....

Nice enough but nothing different than the millions of other mid-day images taken from there. To get better landscapes you need better light (much closer to sunrise/sunset) or a dramatic storm/cloud formation.

I agree with MB on the time of day, though the middle shot has nice contrast and composition. But it does seem to need something in the middle background there (I want to say a plane, but ... ). Watch the tilting of your camera as you can see all the buildings slightly dipping to the right on the last shot. Also, try a sharpening tool as they are just a tad soft.
