1. Not sure whats going on here.
2. Nice take on a much photographed subject.
3. A bit dark

Love #2, the way you placed it to the lower left hand corner gives a great sense of scale while still telling the story.

#3 is too dark and too bright, a classic candidate for HDR

Love the 1st 2, #3 does nothing for me.
#2 def the winner for me.

I love no. 2, like was said before, the scale and composition is great for portraying something that has been done to death...

I don't normally do C&C replies as I don't consider myself informed enough to comment on someone else's photos BUT after talking to you tonight here you go:

1 - I'm not sure if there is something in the photo that I'm just not seeing. It's not really a very interesting photo, nothing to catch your eye.

2 - The best photo here. As others have mentioned there is a sense of scale. It's somewhat dramatic.

3 - I just don't find this so interesting as it stands. It's dark and any detail is hard to see. It just looks like a snap of the bandstand more than anything else. Maybe go back and try something different with it, different ligthing, a new angle perhaps.

Thanks for the C&C guys.

1 and 3 are aimed at showing the decay that exists around the blackrock area. I think HDR could have worked on 3 but I've no idea how to do it!

1 I actually like quite a bit as it shows (to me) what is iconic in that area from the 70s/80s and which has now just become old, faded and worn.

2 I did as I wanted to try and make an old subject interesting!

What lens/set up for #2?

50mm prime for all 3

Wow I'm most impressed so...how far back where you...Wales?

I think I was in Booterstown... either there or Blackrock.

.Longshanks.

#2 for me. Give a great sense of scale.

i like no 2, I'd just have added a bit more to the bottom of the photo/put the chinmeys a bit higher up.
