Number 2 is nice, but I would have personally taken a few steps back.

yes, #2 is very nice. a slightly different framing would have been even better, but it looks nice the way it is as well. very rich colors and textures.

1. Good shot, and it captures the loneliness of abandonment. If you can go back, try getting down closer to the level of the pot and then moving back a little to get more in the frame. This will isolate it more and reinforce the emphasis of it as the subject matter.

2. Very nice shot. Good colors too.

3. Something about the framing makes me uneasy, but it's still solid. Don't forget to really move around your subject to get more unusual angles. Try taking a knee and looking up at it.

I am personally not a fan of the color effects in 1 and 3 (the name of it escapes me for some reason.) In some instances it works well to antique your photo, but I don't think it's working here.

Look at a histogram of #s 1 and 3 and you'll immediately see what's missing.

1 - Kind of boring, but you should crop this 8x10 to get rid of some of the height. If possible at 8x10 crop it to where the wall will meet the corner.

2 - Good, though I would rather see this landscape and a little closer in. The top is great but the middle and bottom aren't really interesting.

3 - You're not totally off with your composition, but I would like to see this farther back so that the edge of the picture was right at the edge of both machines.

1 and 3 need curves/levels...not enough contrast and the blacks aren't black. The sepia looks bad. I like sepia, but however you did the sepia didn't work out well...try another method of toning it.
