A couple of comments:

I liked the one best with Graham seen through the wheel. It speaks.
At least on my iMac the images are a bit grayish in the shadow parts. I 
have often seen that though, on that LUG site. Or is it intentional?
Look out for those distracting backgrounds. In the pic with Graham in 
front of the row of bicykles hanging from the ceiling I would rather 
have him in front of the ceiling to the right, or something.
