I think they're fine "documentation" images.

I don't know if you were looking for a critique, but I would say that the man-made pavement is not very effective. It really calls to attention the shallow DOF. Generally, one needs a subject to be doing something to make it stand out. FWIW

Thanks for sharing though.
