Welcome aboard, Ray, you should learn a lot through posting and critique. Though perhaps a little overexposed, the third is my pick. The first, perhaps could benefit from tighter cropping about the fisherman. It is so geometrically cluttered that the boat and fisherman lose perspective. The second, might benefit by cropping off the bland, grey sky at the bottom.

Douglas, thanks again for your feedback, I just realized I mentioned this thread to you in the B&W post and here you were already. Thanks!
I can see how that bottom crop on the photo of the underside of bridge could help as could underexposing the train tracks. The other bridge photo is actually a pretty substantial crop already. I in fact wished the fisherman wasn't there, as my focus was the bridge and my intention was to convey a feeling of heaviness and oppression, hence the wide crop. I hope I was successful.
