Of the first three, for me the first fails but the second and third succeed. Why? In the first, you are too far away; in the second, you are far away too, but this time the composition works because the person illustrates the size of the raincoats. And the third picture is wonderful, because you are really close. The two raku pictures--again, I would have liked to see a closer view of the artist. It is always easy to say, "get closer"--I am shy and tend to stay too far away too--but in the situation with the raku artist you had presumably already asked her if you could take some pictures, so it would not have bothered her if you had moved in a bit closer.
