Welcome to TPF.
I am not impressed with No 1 composition, to be honest. Balanced, but too much boring space on the left to my liking, I would have cropped it out, but then what is left?
No 2 is quite mundane as well, the guy is not enough separated from the background to really stand out here. In my view the shot lacks size contrast between the subject and space, if you know what I mean.
Both are OK shots to me, but not outstanding.
No 3 is by far the best shot here. Very good. If it were sharp it would be excellent. I really, really like it.

Witamy Cię Marcin.
Aaa...Smena 8M, camera of my dreams, when I was a kid. You are doing fine work with it, but your tags on Flickr are showing, that this pictures were taken with a Canonet. Nevertheless, this are interesting shots, show us more from that series, you have a good eye.

Welcome. Agreeing with what is above, I particularly like #3.

Do share more of your town. I spent about a week there in college for the Gaude Mater music festival. We performed in a couple of churches, but our own concert was performed in an older (pre WWII) Lutheran church. For those into music and acoustics, the sound would continue to bounce around that space for 7 seconds after our cutoff. As I recall we stayed on the edge of town at the Hotel Vegas. There are definitely many stories to tell there.

Semna film?
It's a normal 135 'Leica' standard film I usualy use it with Fomapan or Ilford Delta.

Above photos all by one which is nr 2, were shoot using Canonet QL25 or G-III QL17.
Some time ago, I give these cameras to my younger cousin

Salute!
Marcin

You've got some serious skill it looks like here. Keep up the good work.

The whole reflection thing is a little bit tiresome in so pictures all in a row. But I'm assuming these are all from one outing, and it happened to have rained, in which case okay.

Thats like saying wedding photos are tiresome because they have the bride in most shots
