Your shots are pretty typical!. You've got an eye though, just keep working at it! You'll be great!. I DO like the shot of the little girl on the boogie board!. That one is cute :)

My advice is to try to stop cranking up the contrast of everything and try some new things with photoshop!. Sometimes there is just too much contrast!. also pay attention to whats in the background of your pictures!. The background can really pull the picture together or completely ruin it!. Pay attention to the lines in your photo and where they lead your eye!. Believe it or not, the lines play a huge roll in pulling your picture together!. I'd love to go into more detail about lines and shapes, if you're interested!.

EDIT: Doh! I just figured out that you do! I think you need a faster lens!. I think you could take some great pictures with your aperture opened up WIDE! Are you using your manual settings!? Doesn't seem like it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
