I'm not an expert so all I can do is give my impressions as someone who takes an interest in photography, nothing more.

I like #1. It's interesting as it's a photo of somewhere clearly very different. I like the choice of B&W too. I'd personally probably edit it (keeping the same 4:3 ratio) to lose a bit at the bottom and on the left hand side.

#2 does nothing for me I'm afraid although I can see it was taken on the move.

#3 I like too. I found the choice of angle really off-putting at first and I'm still not entirely convinced about it, but it does enable you to capture the widest possible scene, and even more interestingly it really elevates the path to the left in the photo which is strange but kind of ok too. One thing is clear is that it was a lovely day, a lovely place and I'm just itching to take a walk down that path to see what else is there.

thanks for posting!

Sorry but can't make anything of picture no 2 , The river ness is taken from a very interesting angle, but looks good.

now I preferred no. 2 it has the look of a painting, albeit a bit abstract.
I love the grain of the sky
tho I might crop out some of the lower foreground.
A tip, next time lower the window so you dont get reflections.

donss,
I like the B&W of the building, but crop some if not all of the hedge out, just leaving the heads of the grasses in, also reduce the sky.
The blurred driving shot give a good sense of movement, but doesn't really work for me, the shot of the River Ness is interesting, but I'm not convinced that a more conventional framing wouldn't have worked better.
Keep them coming.
