I'm not seeing anything here that I dislike, what is it you want us to compare? All these textures compliment each other beautifully. 
 
@FifthElephant, I am curious to know what image people like the most. The first impression is important for an image, it can hint at what is the best view angle, lighting and focus of a scene. 
1 Looks Fantastic 
 
If You Ask About How I Think Random Joe Would See Them 
21 and 23 for me.

21 is great because it is a castle and shows some big interior and has great atmosphere. Makes me wonder what of the possible locations in the image I can explore, the tower maybe? Maybe I can sneak on that ledge above the entry. What's in the bottom left corner!

22 looks "boring, just some random room".

23 looks intriguing and hints at some interaction with those evil guys. (The SK door looks out of place to me, too cartoonish and also flat. A more yellow/light or darker wood type might fit better. But this is random taste and possibly complete bollocks.)

24 looks great because it shows traps and I like that but the image itself seems so filled. Only one of the pendulums would look better I think. Then it would be more clear what it is too. Right now they look like they statically(!) barricade the item without moving. The item itself is not even really recognisable as something worth getting to a non-Quaker. 
+1 To Spirit 
 
 
Thanks spirit, that is awesome. Yeah shot 22 is an odd one, I love the architectural shapes but it does not present well as a screenshot. It sort of falls into the category of brushp0rn. The locked door in 23 is a lighter wood but the SK panel is stone which is odd. 24 is my homage to Mike and the nice use of pendulums. I remade the model to have a ring section at the top and beefed up the rest of the model to represent the weight better. I should do a couple of extra skins for variety reasons. 
Oh Ok.. 
I pretty much agree with what spirit has said, except maybe his comments on the silver key door looking out of place, I think it's fine. I recognise the area of 22, looks fairly standard, not every room is going to be mind-blowingly awesome, sometimes rooms just need to be functional (but tarted up a little). 
Third Picture Looks The Most Appealing To Me 
In my humble opinion. I really dig your style. 
 
First one (if it wasn't for the wrong brick seam on the right tower!) 
 
Needs to be blood on the wooden plank leading to the rune! All those shots rock though

Shots 1 and 3 are best for mass consumption, for some reason, shot 4 reminds me of the old Quake2 promotional screen with the gladiator on a bridge

I have no idea why 
Yes 
1 and 3. SK door criticism bollocks.
Shot 2 is very nice brushporn, but yeah, not particularly compelling for non mappers - also courtyard visible doesn't have anything of particular visual interest as of right now.

shot 4 what spirit/scampie said 
 
damn nig they look frickin awesome sock. 
1 And 3 From Me Too

my favorite image is 23 by far of those posted. I can't really give much concrete reasoning as to why I like the image better than the others other than it's driving my imagination wild thinking what is at the end of those stairs or how high those stairs go. 
New Ogre 
@sock 
I really don't like the new ligh huge block texture and it doesn't work well with city6_8. The rest is cool. 
'huge Light Block Texture' 
the windows?

I think EVERYTHING in those shots looks cool. 
Vermis Embryo? 
It seems I can't get away from Quake. I found this growing under the sink...

Wooth! 
Excellent picture you got there, Mike!

I tried some macrophoto's once, but almost screwed my new camera with the outstanding lense I needed for that purpose.
It gives me reminiscense of my fluid projections I make with my diaprojector and a tumbling double glass coil.

It is dm6rmx, but it doesn't really feel like dm6 at all because I had to change the size of the main atrium quite considerably. I also added a lot of extra areas and although the original layout is still there underneath, you would barely know it :/ ( :) ? ) 
That... 
looks sexy as fook...!
