Nice ones, mort. The center one is best, imho. The figure is in action, and an action figure is more interesting than is a passive one. The scene and background are interesting. One comment: try cropping off the lady in plaid. I find my eye drifting over to her and then out of the picture.

The top photo is OK, with the female face complementing the man's face, and the light-colored building holding up its end of the photo. In this case I find myself wondering what it is behind his butt. Is it his leg bent up? His face is nicely silhouetted against the black background. I think it adds to the photo that he's looking out of the photo instead of across it--like he's waiting for someone who hasn't shown up.

Number three is an interesting shot of a man and his dog. It might be more interesting to see the entire wheelchair. Again, you have nicely offset his head with a dark background. All in all, a nice group of photos.
