One and three work best for me but I would crop 3 differently - the left hand lamp post is cropped at the top; though not sure how to put it right without taking 50% of the picture away.

To be honest the focus is not really there on any of these :shrug: you shoot with the same camera that I do so my suggestion for this style of thing would be go into live view 10x magnification and then focus manually, also use a smaller aperture to broaden your DoF

I really like the idea of the last it has an almost thriller/horror feel to it

Please don't be put of long exposures and night shooting it can be real fun but normally it is the home of manual focus

They are good first tries but as Matthew has said, the focus is slightly out. Work on getting the focus sorted and you will be there.
