Good exposure on those two.
The other ones weren't as interesting to me, subject-wise, and many are also quite flat and lacking in saturation.

Well, they lack saturation because of how they were shot-through dirty windows. The windows act as filters, giving a dusty appearance to an already dusty subject. (I can't see what I shoot in those cases, I just place the camera right up on the windowpane and take a few shots.)
The cabinet on the left isn't cut off, the frame ends at its end(there's no legs on it). I agree about the carriages, but being that we were not where we were invited to be, most of my shots from inside were one-shot deals-I have this thing about being arrested
Below is another example of 'shooting blind'-placing the camera against a window and clicking and hoping:
The only thing I did when I got home was use Curves to lighten just a bit. In the background was a built-in cupboard that couldn't be seen in the original, but had I overdone the brightness, the entire photo would have looked horrid, so this is a compromise. I have to guess on the aperature, usually going as low as I can(and the camera further guesses on the shutter speed as a result) and I can't use a flash as it'd only reflect back. And, even tho it's a DSLR, what shows up on the LCD is not necessarily indicative of what I end up with. Had I seen those first shots only on the LCD and made a decision, they'd have been deleted as being way too dark.
