I especially like the composition of #1. Thanks for sharing.

Roberto, Welcome. It's good work. #1 and #2 are fine examples of high key. #3 is okay, but it doesn't come up to the level of 1 and 2. #4 is a fine piece of architectural photography that probably could stand a bit more detail in the wall to the left of the door, perhaps by cranking down the brightness slider a bit, or, better yet, using a control point in Viveza to do some localized work on the area that appears almost blown out, but which I'm sure holds more detail than is visible. #5 doesn't quite cut it. That foreground needs some detail in it. It's not the same kind of shot as #1s 1 or 2 and can't stand the blown out highlights. Still, it's hard to judge subtleties when you're looking at a .jpeg on a monitor, so I may be overstating the case.
But, all in all, very good work. Let's see more of it.

Hi there, and welcome to the list! I'm with Russ - 1, 2, 4 are nicely done, but I'd toss 3 and 5.
Mike.

#1,2 and 4 I like. Toss the rest including 6 and 7.

I have to say I'm not a big fan of the "soot and ash" style of B&W photography, but l like #4. As for the rest I find myself missing subtle tonal separations in the high and low values as well as everything in between. But I realize that's just not the style they were done in.

#1 and #2 are fine examples of high key. #3 is okay,

Roberto, great set of images. I like shot #2...I like the composition and point of view but would've liked a little more detail in the sky.
