Scouting out locations with my iPhone

Yesterday I decided to use my iPhone to try to capture what I thought would make for interesting photos later on with my camera, this way I don't have to carry my camera and leave it in an ice cold car while in the doctors office to later thawl out when the car heated up again, thieves can't steal it because it's at home and not in the car etc.
Including some shots I took while moving the car around objects ( well except for one) until I found something I liked, now when I go back I will know where I want to set up.

I need some imput as to, did I capture something interesting?

Another one

Your idea is a pretty good one; good way to note places you want to revisit.

As framed, the second one looks like it just needs to be revisited in better light/conditions; it's an interesting building. The other two just don't have much, visual appeal; they're cluttered and chaotic. You might be able to find elements to isolate and bring out interest in, but I don't see much right off.

Thanks Snydremark for your reply

The second picture is a church, the light was heavy overcast.
The first picture is an area lake, the house is distracting but I was going for the curves and thinking with somebody posed at the track around the lake and the rocks in the foreground would look better.
The third picture was in my doctors office and I thought with somebody posed in say the third window from the left looking out would have made it better.

I like the brick building in the 2nd shot. 3rd one had nice perspective, might be worth seeing what it looks like after dark.

Perspective is what I was trying for, something clicked in me the other day and I am looking at the world at a different angle, most every picture I have taken has been straight on to my subject, mug and snap shots, don't think I am going back there anymore.

One more, Back of Church, camera distortion and phone not level with building

The fixed (very short) focal length of my wife's iPhone is very problematic for good composition in many situations. She often gets much too close to various subjects and as a result has a lot of perspective degradation in her images. I've tried to show her how she can stay back and crop the image for a more pleasing perspective.

Using an iPhone to "test" scenes is going to be difficult at best because the iPhone is limited to the very short focal length (very wide field of view) and this is very different from an EOS camera with a selection of lenses.

The back parking lot was real small from the building to where I was at and to the left was a sidewalk and couldn't get anymore to the left of the building from the car, but will go back with camera and get out of the car, I think I can get a better picture.
