Default experimenting

I posted a while ago, and found that the issue of context came up in regards to a couple of my photos, armed with this ( i like constructive critism) i went out and got these.

Id love people to rip them to bits if they dont like them, any thoughts would be appreciated









which Hippo photo works better too?

Yeah, I agree. I think the second one tells a good story, I dig it. But, the rest of them aren't very interesting. The first one's PP is nice, but the composition is blah. Just looks like any old abandoned building. I like the second one's story because the angle makes me feel like the piece was just finished and the can was freshly dropped there. The third and fourth are something that I see every day, and I see way too much of when I go out shooting downtown, so I might just be worn out on it. I think it needs something else going on to portray the feeling that you're going for with this one, like a bum leaned up against it, or someone dumpster diving. I like your angle; keep working it and show us some more.
