High Life- apartments in Calpe, Spain

While on holidays there were a lot of high rised apartments, I was drawn to the patterns, straight lines in them. Althoght they didn't blight the area in these photos by having the apartments covering 100% of the photos I tried to make them look imposing, like massive cities in the Far East where you have endless amounts of skyscrapers

I think to have an impact they'd have to be more geometric. You've been a little haphazard in positioning and composing the shots so nothing's really square to the picture borders and the perspective is off. I'd be more inclined to take a more orthogonal approach to the entire thing. Also I'd use a shift lens or remove the perspective distortion in PS. Perspective effects certainly work for some architectural shots, but not, I think, with what you're trying to do here.
