Too many for which to provide detailed C&C however a few thoughts: 1 & 2 have the subject too far to the edge of the frame; 3, 6, 7 & 9 have WB issues ranging from green to orange; almost all have tilted horizons; and be careful of distracting back & foreground elements such as the orange object frame left in 3 & 4 and the branches forground in 7.

Overall, they're not a bad set but there is room for improvement. Keep shooting!

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

My two primary concerns are composition and white balance.

For very basic portraits like this, and especially when you're a beginner, it's best to use either of 2 major compositional principles: the "rule of thirds" and the "golden mean". Google them, become intimately familiar with them, they will serve you well for as long as you hold a camera.

For the white balance, you could improve greatly just by using a grey card or other white balance tool like the Expodisc. I haven't looked at your EXIF data, but I'd guess you're shooting on Auto WB, which is causing the huge variance in the set you posted.

Keep shooting!

Could the photographer have edited the clouds? I am only asking as i have a photo with clouds in, and wonder if the clouds were removed would it look better.
