Top photo, I'd crop down from the top and change the orientation from portrait to landscape.

Next two shots seem to me to be a bit underexposed. Try upping the brightness a bit.

As a personall preference, I don't think the vignetting works for that shot.

I like all three shots. Nice job.

Mike :)

Mike provides good critiques and you will be wise to pay close heed to his reviews.
I will provide a bit of counterpoint, however. I feel your album title says you are making social commentary with these photos.
Regarding the first image, I believe the top portion adds athe poignant statement about life lived in contaminated water and would leave it vertical for that reason.
I agree with Mike on the other two images. I also agree that I like all three images and I feel they make powerful statements about life lived on society's fringe. Thank you for sharing.

Hi! In my opinion the top photo is perfect. With a first look i don''t like the top side of the of the top picture. But after Randall's comment i look it again and i change my mind, so i like it a lot.

In the second photo there is a little fuzziness or it is just my eyes from the morning awakeking? :P

The third photo, i just like it, i can't find neither mistake nor an obvious reason to like it. But it is sure that this photo is a perfect shot of a daily working man!

ps Sorry for my rough English, i hope you can understand what i wrote.
