These Pics, any good?
Discussion
I quite like the second one and, if the sky was made a bit more vibrant and cropped, it could make a nice piece (excuse my ham-fisted PS work, mind). Also, to fit the narrow perspective, I have taken some artistic licence with the curve of the riverbank:

Just to jump on the number 4 bandwagon

Re stock agencies etc. This is a huge mine field of a topic. To give a personal perspective I've signed up with Alamy, a UK based stock agency. The split of royalties here seem pretty reasonable to the photographer and their coverage worldwide seems good. Easy to sign up to / set up as well and the language on the agreement is ncie and clear.
You'll have to choose whether to try and sell this image "Rights Free" or "Rights Managed". To my basic understanding RF you get a one time fee and the buyer can do absolutely whatever they want with the image, the price of the iamge is based on file size here. RM is a more traditional licence method where the buyer says what they are using the image for and how big the image will be displayed and how big a print run will be etc. The price of the image is then set on that usage. Both have their upsides and downsides.

I really like the b/w Macy's shot, with a boost of contrast, it would look stunning enlarged..
If you'd like it on canvas, let me know - www.fluid-images.co.uk

1st Empire State is a bit blurry with sun.
Battery Park/Financial District is a really good photo, but 10 to dozen (must have seen some on the street stalls?)
2nd Empire State with what appears to be an extremly tiny Chyrsler Building looks awesome. I would go for this one, as not seen that angle before. Did you by any chance do the round Manhattan Cruise for these?
Street to top of Rockefeller I believe? is good, but same as Battery Park pic, saw loads of similar on the street stalls.
Taxis are same.
Central Park Boating Lake with Ghostbuster tower looks really good.
Out of all of them, I would go for 2nd Empire State and Central Park pics. Both really good and not seen them before.

Like 4, 5 and the final (McDonalds one), as well as the macys one. Personally I'd go with the macys one - it's more likely to fit with your colour scheme, yet has enough detail that you won't get bored looking at it. If it's going to be on your wall for a couple of years you don't want something you'll tire of quickly, I think this has enough detail to keep the eye busy. That said it's hard to say without seeing the target decor ... ;o)
As an aside (on my cheap laptop display) the white balance appears to be a bit off on a couple of those images, in paticular a bit green in a couple. Minor though.
