    As they are, I think there needs to be a little more excitement to the photos. #2 has the most potential for me but it would be cool to see what kind of editing you could do. Maybe B&W or some added effects. Great place to start though!!

    Maybe a bit more like this?

    Yeah, I like the saturation and contrast. Maybe turn this one into black and white. It is getting there though!! I finally realized why these looked familiar though. I used to live is Worcester and spent a lot of time in Providence!!!

    Too funny! I was thinking, as well, this looks familiar. I've probably never been to this spot, but it is classic New England 'old factory buildings' :)

    I like #2 the best. I think you can definitely get something great with these scenes. Maybe get a few more perspectives to toy with.

    I like #1 ... and wonder what B/W would do for #4.

    I'm not too fan of the present garbage, and the saturation version doesn't really work for me.

    From all you have here, I too prefer the first one, maybe B&W as suggested and maybe a little cropped on the top and left...

    I like #3. In your new version, the vanishing point is there, but the buildings sit in the ROT point and draw me away from the vanishing point.
