Wow George, you've nailed those shots! That third last shot (St Bridgets church, Shrine of the Crucifixion, choir loft, confessional) has a really nasty lighting mix, maybe you could covert the shot once for the inside and again for the exterior lit panels then recombine them in PS to provide a better overall colour balance?
