Nimitz,
I like much No 3. Opportune shot. The baby eyes are saying thanks mom. IMHO I think would be better the focus a bit after (at baby eyes plane).
No 1 is a sculpture fountain? A bit more generous cropping for referencing the spectator in the image should work better here.
No 2. Looks great. What lens for this approach?
Best regards.

All images taken with the sigma 28-70 f.28. Really nice lens.
#2 the bird was sitting 40 cm from me - actually snapped the picture while we had the icecream. These "city" birds comes pretty close - so I had a good number of bird shots.
#3 - yes - you are right. The focus is a bit in the foreground. I'm not sure why - I did all I could to snap the eye. The jacket probably was in the way...or just me moved the camera an inch before shooting.
#1 I tried to play with shutterspeed. Not quite pleased with the outcome. Could have cropped it different - but a bigger crop had some bad light in some parts (reflections from water).

Highly recommended - usually mine is loaded with a 50mm prime, kitlens, faj 75-300, a vivitar lens and my new sigma 28-70 f2.8 on the camera. I don't have the grip on yet - but there is plenty of space for it. I also include all the cables, 3 memory cards, spare battery and some cleaning cloths.
Other than that - I love the way you "sling" it to the front - to support you taking out the camera. Very easy!
It got some very handy strings that avoid the zipper to open up fully - so you don't drop all the lenses in the bag when taking out the camera.

Number 2 for me i love bird pics.
Is that a sparrow : :
It was sitting like 40-50 cm away - why my sigma at 70mm was more than enough to snap a good serie of this curios one.
