3) light is just too bland. I get the idea of the fog and moodiness etc, but it's just too bland. It needs something to make the shot. Maybe try shooting this at dawn, just as that beautiful reddish glow from the Sun first breaks the area. Get a person in the shot, to give a sense of persective and scale.

Just a thought, why not try a wide angle lens, whilst lying down on the Sand and looking up and towards the end of the bridge?

edit: I quite like #3 - although I'd have been tempted to shoot portrait rather than landscape mode on this.

edit: I hope you don't mind, I had a crack at #3, a bit of an arty shot. If you're curious, PM me and I'll put it up on my web with a link for you to grab it.
I don't mean to come across over-zealous but...
Did you miss "I took these with my HTC phone (not the pinnacle in photographic equipment)" .
That is what I based my critic on. He has done very well considering his camera is out of action and he doesn't have a DSLR. I'm sure he would meet our expectations further giving better equipment...

My assesment stands, I think it is an amazing effort for the equipment used...
