Hi Thomas;
Let's see,

There is definitely something here,  what is needed is some echo of the
t-shirt.  Possibly a slow shutter speed to blur the people so they look
ghost like, or a double exposure so the people are transparent.

This bridgscape is more problematic as it just doesn't reach me.  If I were
confronted by a similar structure I would have gotten lower and shot at a
more upward angle, hopefully choosing a day with more clouds in the sky with
a orange to red filter to pop the bridge structure from the sky.  However,
this is your art so if that is not the message you wanted to say then please
disregard as everyone should have their own vision.

The wall of water is an intriguing image with something there.  Possibly a
vertical composition, possibly some spot of color.  I do think the main is a
stronger image than the alternate, mostly because the water in this case is
better stopped than blurred.  Woulda, shoulda, possibly multiple exposures
at a high shutter speed to build up a wall of sharp water?

Thanks for showing your work.
