Just got back from Berlin. I think I'm not back up to my old standard, but these are the first films I've done for 5 years.

Err people are looking. But criticism, good or bad is welcomed. My own thoughts are that there a bit stock.

If by 'a bit stock' you mean a bit predictable I would agree. That isn't the same as saying they're bad photographs. Just that they're images we've all seen a thousand times before.

Berlin is graffiti city. We all come back with some shots of graffiti but, it's nice to put the art into an environmental context rather than just take a pic of someone elses art. This (http://www.silverbites.co.uk/berlin/large/wasteland.htm) is my favourite shot of Berlin and graffiti.

The stairwell shot has been done forever. There's nothing there that gives clues to the location - it isn't obviously Berlin and could well be any European city.

The fernsternenenenenenenennethingy tower shot would be stronger if the verticles had been aligned with a bit more care (it ain't the leaning tower of Pisa). I would also have exposed a little more in favour of the foreground.

Not meant to be harsh criticism. They are not bad photographs. You just need a little more time to get back into the technicalities. You also need to learn how to be confident about taking the photographs you see and not trying to immitate photographs you've seen before. Not easy to do this!
