Love the last shot - nice composition, lines and exposure. The movement adds to it nicely.
The first shot could have done with a faster shutter speed I'm guessing - it looks like there was camera shake. I feel that the second image is a little underexposed - I know that this can be tricky against a sky like that, but there is definitely some room to open it up a bit.
Still, what hit me most was the last one - great shot!

Agree with the previous posters about the first two. And I also love the third one... in fact when I woke up this morning in the few minutes I cling to my bed refusing to get up I was thinking of it. Great shot, well done.

All of them lack punch. I presume here (if you're shooting digital, and judging by the second one, you are) that you shot in colour. You probably want to mess around with different ways of doing that B&W conversion to give them a little more character. They're very flat.

You also need a little work on your metering technique. The first two are quite underexposed looking. In the case of #2 its because your meter was trying to compensate for that big expanse of overcast sky.

Thirdly, the first two (and a couple of others on your stream) are very soft. In the first case here its a case of the shakes, so you might want to bump up the shutter speed a couple of stops to get to a speed that you can comfortably handhold. The 2nd one here I'm not so sure about. Could be shake, could be something else. What was the aperture at ?
