Really like #1 
#2 is just somehow a bit boring - looks like a standard snap, with no real focus - there's nothing to really grab the eye [IMHO
]
#3 has a little too much black for my liking, and has a funny red-glow around the figure, although I really like the idea.

I like the composition of #1 - enough detail to keep the attention, but nothing to detract from the structure and texture of the ruin.
#2 I think this is one of those situations where a walk round (if possible) would have given you a stronger composition. The building on the left, close to the bridge, looks interesting (mellow brickwork covered in vegetation), and standing on the top of the bank above the towpath might have given you a stronger composition - using the bridge as a lead-in to the bulding. I realise this might be total rubbish, or inaccessible but it might be worth a revisit.
#3 I like this. The view through the archway has enough interest to hold attention - nicley judged, imho. If I was being really picky, I think I'd crop out the steps at the bottom. The rest of the image is strong enough not to need 'em.
And that just shows how contrary people can be - suggesting a lead-in line in #2 and cropping it out in #3 :bonk:

Thanks for the feedback guys
I tried doing this but it changed the colour of the stones and made it look very artificial, maybe I was doing it wrong I dont know:shrug:
@jeangenie: I thought about taking the photo from the angle that you suggested but I didnt think I could balance the composition properly. I wouldnt get much of the building in because there is an abandoned building site right beside it which totally spoils it. This picture shows the building:
Its really a shame that the council refused to do anything about it
