I looked at 7, the group on the steps and 33 of the wall. Because they are low res 8 bit any correction to tonal range degrades the histogram. But this is just your low res posts I am playing with. Neither has any clipped highlights and both have a decent exposure range (keeping in mind the 8 bit). 33 actually has the blacks clipped. Both of them are greatly improved by a quick downwards drag of the mid-tones in their curves. A similar and quick to implement curve applied to your full size files would be simple and helpful. Pardon me if I'm teaching you to suck eggs on this. If it is useful or you would like that expanded, I'd be happy to help.
