Too many pics to take the time to c&c all of them. Narrow it down to no more than 3-ish. Basically, I see a lot of subject centering, and in general, just snapshots. #1, meh. White balance issues, subject too small, perfectly centered horizon. Looks like overcast conditions on all of the shots, tends to make lighting rather flat, but you can't control Mother Nature. Supplemental lighting would have made a big difference, but something tells me you're not ready for lighting gear yet. Exposure is good for the most part, and it looks (on my monitor, anyway) like you hit focus. The softness is about what I would expect with a kit lens. They should sharpen up fine in post. Lot's of good, free info on line about posing and composition. Google Rule of Thirds for starters.
