#1 - I like the perspective, the wide angle and the colors - to me the background detracts. #2 - I like the framing, like the subject; one of things that bothers me, and yes I have a hard time avoiding it is the washed out sky. Might try a circular polarizer if not able to shoot early or late in the day to avoid the harsh light. #3 - some may ask what the subject is, to me it is just a street scene - not every picture is for everybody or needs a "subject" as such. Thanks for sharing.
notnoBuddha, agree with the background, I wonder how a shallow depth of field would have changed this photo. My comments on the water fountains are that the lights blow out the water spray. I agree with notnoBuddha on the washed out sky in no. 3, and I also agree on the street scene.
