I like the style, but it's kind of cliche.

What did you shoot number 3 with that gave you the vignetting?

Today is your way out...

Are you referring to the style or the subject matter as cliche?

That's from the two filters I had on my lense while it was zoomed all the way out.

More in-depth critique.
1)
I like the long depth of field and the grain... tone is pretty nice and suggests you're using film (I don't think your post tells either way). What I don't like is the balance leaves the weight of the building very rooted to the lower right, and it pulls the eye away from the intersecting verticals that I think you were shooting at. As I mentioned before, this is a photo template that's been used many times before.. so I guess if I'd line up that shot I would use some kind of really interesting or abstract foreground to frame in the bottom more, then use a distinctive focal point in the top center of the frame... such as a smokestack or water tower. A plane crossing the sky with contrails would be cool too.
2)
I think I've taken several photos like this when I was reading the books. It has good contrast, range, the tone is a little mute because of the overcast sky. Texture is good with the rocks. Once again, nice DoF.
3)
Vig on the corners helps a lot, especially with the rich colors of red and green to draw the eye to the figure. It's a good picture, I just don't see anything special. Great looking abandonment there.
**********
There's more of a constructive, yet deconstructing analysis.
I'd like to know what film was used in the first shot.

1 & 3 look nice. The colors in 3 really make it pop. I just can't get into 2. The out of focus people in the background drag my eye away from the rocks in front.

I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.
