#1 Is very good, beautiful even. pics 2 and 3 are run of the mill. with pic 3 you need to tell more of a story, it just looks like a tourist pic.

Nice work. I used to own a finepix s700 which is the model before the 1500 came out. I it was a great point and shoot camera to learn with. Learn all the modes and what they do on that camera. Those finepix take great pictures.

#1 wants for DOF for the entire subject. I'd prefer the entire subject in focus.
#2 the foreground is to underexposed for my taste. GND filter would help.
#3 the pole isn't vertical. The perspective is kind of ho-hum.
#4 I don't get it, sorry.

Actually like what I see. Nice tonality and good feel for the subject.
I would play a bit with street views in bringing down the camera closer to the street, but over all, not bad at all.
