these are not displeasing but lack real interest for me. I'd like to see some life in the street or perhaps a citizen leaning against the wall. #2 is pretty but that's about it. Well that's only my opinion
#1 looks a little overexposed. Some detail is lost in the left side of the image. #2 is a little underexposed. This may be able to be corrected in PP to bring out some of the detail in foreground. That would add some interest.

I disagree.
The first one is well done as a street scape. Vanishing point lands on a third. A tilt shift would have made this better, along with a sky that's more threatening.
Would have been a damn good monochrome.
The first is not bad. I think the shadow bisecting the street saves this from being an ordinary "touristy" shot. I don't think it's overexposed, but it's right on the edge, which for me is OK, but this is very subjective.
