Not sure of composition

[weatherwise2]

I had a chance this morning to go out to a new highway construction in my area. I took a number of pictures and spent part of this rainy Saturday playing with them. I have trouble deciding on cropping and in this case turning to B&W.
Here are 4 pictures for C&C. I have others on my flickr site.
1. Power plant

2. highway construction

3. Industrial site

4. Highway curves


I tried various options but welcome suggestions.

thanks

My personal favorites are #2 and #4 here. I love the way the bridges lead your eye into the photo and out again. Great composition and great photos! Good job!

Same again for me, 2 and 4...

1 would be cooler (imo) if the smoke stacks were mising and the rockas at the bottom were horizontal.

and 3 if the yellow flowers in the foreground were gone and the overall pic had a touch more contrast..or something.. maybe?

cool looking bridge / stacks.

I think 2 and 4 work because of the leading lines caused by the curving road and the simplicity of the shots.
1 and 3 are a bit busy. My eye doesn't know what to look at first,the smokestacks, the bridge, the bright clock?
I think b&w works well with this kind of construction theme.
