Some walkarounds

Haven't posted anything for a while, and photos are for looking at! All of these were taken with the Sigma 10-20, with the exception of the first one which was the DA 50-200. Incidentally, as far as that shot is concerned I'm torn as to whether I should crop it to move the pidgeon further left - thoughts anyone?

(EDIT: Should add that #4 is from a different day and place than the others, in case anyone who knows Glasgow gets puzzled I also realise that the sky on #3 is 'troubled' - haven't got round to sorting that yet)

If anything I think you should crop in tighter on the pigeon which would move it to the right a bit. Anything to get it's beady eye away from the exact centre of the frame I think there would be too much empty grass if you tried to move it left.

The 2nd shot has potential, it's a good idea and what I can see of the composition looks good, but there is too much black for me.It would be nice if there was a bit more dimly visible detail in there. Shafts of light from the arches would have been nice too, could you arrange it please? That light blue thing in the left arch is a bit distracting as well.

The last two are the weakest of the set IMO. The 3rd one is alright, but the boring sky spoils it (as usual, crummy UK weather), and the way the roofline bisects the sculpture is a bit distracting. The 4th one needs more punch, the colours are flat, and the asphalt repair patches and muddy foreground gutter are ... well ... let's just say it isn't the most attractive bit of road I've ever seen
