Not all that keen on #3
#1 and 2, framing. Maybe a little wider, as some elements are chopped.

I'm digging #2 quite a bit. I like it. Overall nice composition. It gets me to study the subject in the foreground while comfortably swapping my focus to and from the bridge in the background where the lines seem to converge to. Thumbs up!

The big blue sign that gets cropped in #1 does something to the shot that makes it feel like I'm being poked at by someone while I'm trying to read a good book.

#2 is the best IMO. Looks like the road to Mt St Helens won't be open for a while :)

They are very nice. # 2 is my fav. Would have liked to see a little more room on the top.

#1 - lose the sign on the right and maybe the wires above.

#3 - it's ok, nothing that catches my interest. The only thing that stands out and that makes me curious is the sign in the water, and I would like to see how deep it is right there.

I'd have moved the road marker in #2, into the water, to show depth. I also wouldn't have chopped the top of it.

First thing I noticed on #1 was the blue sign that was chopped in half. I tried scrolling over because I thought there was more. It should be included or not at all in my opinion. Like the others here I liked #2, but needs a bit more at the top to not cut off the sign.

I'm no expert, but I actually like the sign where it is. My eye was instantly drawn to the leaves and the sharpness in the road (did you sharpen this in post-processing, or is that straight off the camera?).

Matter of personal preference, I suppose, but I like how the sign blends in with the flood waters which blend into the bridge.
