#1 and #2 are quite good I think.
The rest not so much.

I think the composition of number one misses by a bit.
I like almost everything about it, but it feels unbalanced to me.
I see why you framed it the way you did, but I don't think it works.

All near misses, I think. The basic problem I have with them is that they're not quite strong enough to stand on their own as abstracts, but there's not enough context for detail shots.

However, I must say that I make a lot of images like this, so I may just be reacting somewhat to the fact that your eye is different than mine.

I like #4. What museum is this?
