Nice captures Phil, the first one is my favourite.
Well composed and gives a great sense on scale.

I had a look at the exif data on your photo and it's as follows:

ISO 200, f/5, 70mm, 5 sec exp, auto WB, sRGB, shutter priority.

If you'll have another go at it tonight, may I suggest you try the following:

Change your colour space to AdobeRGB on both camera and imaging software.
Change White Balance to "White Fluorescent light" (4000k)
Change to Aperture Priority
If it's getting dark, use ISO 400

and as you said use Mirror Lock & In Camera N/R
Give at least 3 sec for mirror L/U to settle down.

If you use the 17-70mm go one or two stops up from wide open.
Try it in Portrait format to get all the tail (at around 50mm)

Give theses a go and see how you go.
