First one looks like a spray bottle duck! The last one is kind of a fun abstraction. The concrete wall with the seam in it, plus the shadows of the two people and the little bit of tree peeking out over the top of the wall creates what is, seen alone, a moderately interesting image; like so many photos, it might seem stronger, better, in a portfolio of similar images shot on campus. B&W does well at making the mundane seem a bit more "arty" than full color, IMHO.

Thanks ... I actually went back and darkened the last one ... I think I like it better:

It looks a bit different when seen darker. And yeah, it is pretty agreeable when seen a bit darker. It seems more realistic to me when seen darker.
