Hank - interesting shots:

I think this one needs a live animal or person to act as the foil,  
and give it relevance

This one really says something when you connect the words in the  
caption to the garbage on the street, and I am intrigued with the  
open cellar door

Here the person gives it scale, without that it would just be a  
picture of a picture

To have a chance of making spectacular shots in these locations, I  
think you would have to be patient and wait around for it to happen.   
I do not have that patience, but I know a photographer on the Street  
Photography site who will invest a good hour at a particular location  
to see what turns up, and he gets some great stuff.

Good luck

Hugh
