C&C per req:

1. Too much distraction in the background. The foreground elements are interesting, but all of the other red lines are really competing for the eye's attention.

2. I think this one would have worked better had you been shooting straight down. Unfocused foreground elements rarely strengthen an image.

3. Hmmm... not really getting anything from this one.

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.
