I have developed a bit of a fascination for wandering around taking pics in old gray yards, there is just something about 100+ year old weathered marble lol
Heres 3 pics that I think came out ok, and I would love to get your thoughts on them and where I could improve :)

1 (I really like this one for some reason)

i like #1 but for me # 2 and 3 blend into the background too much (more so #2), i think its either because the colours/contrast is similar or the dof is quite large.

No 1 could do with a darker sky, and perhaps softer lighting. The spider-web is an interesting detail.
In No 2, the contrast is rather high, and I'd wish you avoided the column in the background.
I like the texture of the stone in No 3. Could you crop out the white building?

framing, as has been said before. try put your subject in different places around the frame as apposed to always centering it on the middle. some cool shots all the same.

Really digging the spider web in #1, but yes you need to compose the images so that they are not all so centered, though to be honest it can be pretty hard to do with these kinds of subject.

Also, I find your watermark very distracting and unnecesarily large.

I have been finding it hard to frame things off center, but I will try harder!

And yeah the water mark has been mentioned to me in the past aswell, I am trying to tone it down a bit now!!

Here's one more pic that I shot yesterday
