New to the board- C&C please!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the boards so I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been with camera for about 2 months now and have taken around 7,000 pics thus far (many were duds as I learned the camera settings). I'm looking forward to learning and expanding my skills!

#1 is to dark IMO

#2 would like to see more "scenery" to the left side...consider use of rule of thirds.

#3,4,5&6 I like them.

#7,8 focus just not right to me.

thanks DR, anyone else?

I like 1, 4 & 6.

#1, I would brighten it up a bit. It does look a bit dark, but composition is great.

#2, doesn't really do anything for me. Also, the parked cars in the reflection is a bit distracting.

#3, Doesn't do that much for me.

#4, Again great composition, I would brighten it up a bit to highlight the path/fence.

#5, I am not sure how else you could have compose this picture.

#6, Great composition. It let my eyes to the lifeguard station. I might crop the top a little.

#7 & 8, Focus is great. Not so sure about exposure.

i really like one and five.

1, bottom half of 2, and 4 are underexposed, in my opinion. I like the third to last, but I would have moved my camera slightly to the right so that the end of the pier was slightly closer to the centre of the picture.
