Old machinery - C+C Please!

I went to an abandoned Sanatorium today, and outside, they had an old pickup truck with an electric power plant sitting there rusting away. I figured they would make good subjects for some photographs!

85 views, yet no replies... Are they THAT horrible (or weak)?

Just not very interesting IMO.

I think that adding some more contrast to the first two could make the textures pop. The contrast in the last one looks fine.

I also think that all these images could use some room around them: the first and last on all sides but the right, and the second would benefit from some more room to the right (which might result in the need to crop some of the left-hand side). [I know that all of this is easier said than done -- if you had shot wider, some distractions would probably have entered the frame. Abstracting subjects can be challenging sometimes.]
