i really like number two, although i'd crop out whatever it is taking up the right hand side of the frame. looks like another wall perhaps.

Done, you're right it looks better.

The first one looks really weird. It's like an IR shot that's been selectively coloured.

I like the graffiti shots, although with those it's more of a documentation of the art rather than on a photography basis with those.

the first and last ones are both me messing around with levels, the original is here.

i prefer it pink, it looked quite japanese/oriental, or house of flying daggers-esq

The grafitti pics are good but the cottage...looks a little too crowded for me, too much foreground and not enough of the house, the sky is pretty well blown out. sometimes (not always) you could focus onto the sky only from the position your at and take a shot then take a shot of the subject, this case being the house then merge the two in a imaging program.

What settings did you use etc ?

its a fair point, there's no real focus for attention, and the sky is positively nuked.
