Feelings creeping over Clarke Quay

For our new assignement, we are to take 3 photos representing realism, expressioism and formalism. The place I choose to take is in Clarke Quay.

Realism
This photo shows Clarke Quay as it is. What I like about the two buildings is that they have a 'stepping' structure that seems like creeping out to the skies.

Formalism
I took this photo at the bus stop just outside Clarke Quay MRT station. It gives a feeling of the sun that is slowly 'creeping' out from the shadows of the clouds.

Expressionism
This photo is the interior of Clarke Quay MRT during a non-peak period. The feeling I want to express here is that, for a MRT station which always will have people busying buzzing by for work and stuffs, can actually looks 'creepy' and isolated without the human factor.

Overall, I feel that the place could represent the 3 views quite well. However, one major flaw that I failed to consider is the fact that from the 3 photos, it is hard to tell that the place is actually is at Clarke Quay. Mr. Reddy suggested to take a more depictive photo of Clarke Quay for 'Realism'.

Rating: I feel that I could get a 8/10 but could be higher as my audience could not tell straight away that the place of my subject is at Clarke Quay.
