To think, before it was protected, apparently there were plans to fell the trees for railway sleepers/ties!

Good shots JJ - and having the people in #1 really helps to emphasise the enormous size of the trees.
It looks like you made a vertical panorama for #3; if so, you might try using around 28mm focal length instead of 55mm, which could include more height without introducing much visual distortion. (28mm is a 'standard lens' focal length for APS-C, giving a similar view to human eyes.)
Cheers.
