Interesting collection, you seem to have made the place look quite!
The last one is the one I am drawn too, but that is maybe because the guy has been at the show for at least twenty years. One of my first "working shows" he was in a stall near us. We paid him $10 for a portrait of one of our puppets! And last year I noticed hat he was given an award for long service (I wish I could remember how long he as been going there)
Maybe if you had stayed a little longer you would have got a nice shot of him holding the picture up so you can see his silhouette effect.

I like them all.
The first one I do find that the background is a bit bland. While it isolates the subject I think the mood is a tad confused. A child on dads shoulders is warm and fun while the empty stand is cold. Despite that it still has appeal.
2&3 are just great shots of the show we know and love.
The last I am really drawn to. The position of the child, cutout and artist are perfect. I'm drawn in from the scissors to the girls face and back out each time I look at it. Then the contrast of the happy child and the pensive old man, even though I can't see his face, hits me and I wander in and out of the image again. Never am I drawn away from it. I love it!
