Boston walk with 50mm 1.8 - C&C please!

[theregoesjb]

So this is from my first real outing with my t2i, i had the 50mm 1.8 on it. Walked around Boston on presidents day:

I slightly adjusted the white balance in PS for most of these at home last night, however on my work monitor they seem to look a little warmer.

what do you think?

For the ducks i went back and forth with giving it a tighter crop, the ducks look pretty sharp but i couldnt decide if having the view of whole area helped the picture so i left it with a slight crop but pretty much the original size.

I really liked the texture of the sun on the brick and the way the tree looked but im not sure i captured it as well as i could have.

I have pretty much this same picture taken without the plane as well.
