They are not terrible!. Some are better than most!. I'm not going to be super critical, but I will suggest you put a little more thought into what you want people to see before you press the shutter release!. My two main gripes are composition and framing!. You obviously wish for your photos to be more than just snapshots!. It looks like you've put some thought into many of them, but your follow through is off!. None of them are particularly eye catching, to be honest!.

The framing is just not pleasing, it looks haphazard and unintended!. In a shot like this, the intended composition should be to show a pattern!. But the pattern is broken because it is not framed correctly!. The pattern is in rows, so try to utilize the diagonal rule, for example!.

The framing is good and even the composition could stand the way it is - but there is nothing to bring it into perspective, no other stimulus for the eye to lock onto!. But overall, a better shot!.

The framing is off, and the glare from the water is distracting from any intended compositional element!. So this one needs technical attention!. Try using a CP (circular polarizer) filter to cut the glare of the sun on the water!. It will also help cut through the haze as well (if you get the multi-coated variety)!. Then simply fix the horizon, trying not to clip out that big rock in the background!.

And this:

What are you trying to show here!? Dumbo!? Where is he!? For this, you need to pay special attention to composition, framing, and perspective!. It just looks like you pointed the camera at the ride and depressed the shutter release without looking through the viewfinder!.

There are a few more that are okay, like 'peekaboo' and 'should I!?', but they are not very interesting to everyone!. And 'should I!?' is a bit tight, there is no element of 'why shouldn't I!?' - I just see the top of a fireplug!.

Overall, I'd say great try!. You've got a good camera and a good eye, now you need to learn to use them to their potential!. I recommend you take a couple of classes (or read a couple of books even) on composition!. Compositional rules are just guidelines, they are meant to establish something that will carry the eye of the viewer to the intended subject without getting lost in the rest of the frame!. They are not meant to constrain your imagination or vision, just simply good places to start!. It helps to at least know them!. And, it helps to just look at what you want to capture before you capture it!. Bryan Peterson has a great book on composition, not too textbook-like, just a pictoral rendition of a teaching of the main principles of composition!.

Keep shooting though!. And this is simply my opinion, I'm no expert - just a photo snob sometimes!. Good luck to you in your endeavors!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
