County Fair Photos

[JimboSlice]

My county fair has a photo contest I'm entering, and I figured my first post on here would get a good variety of my work so far on here out of the way. The photos I'm entering are a variety of street, landscapes, etc in no particular order.

1.French Army soldier on patrol at the Eiffel Tower

2. Friend of mine on a Slip N' Slide

3. Sunset over my hometown, Haviland

4. Street in Covent Garden, in London

5. Hills near Belvidere, Kansas

6. Windows in the Louvre

7. Just two dudes chilling on the sidewalk in Paris. I'd watch a TV show about these guys.

8. Protestors outside of a Playboy club being opened in London

9. The River Thames

Thanks in advance for critiquing!
*something happened when I edited it that made the images all different sizes, sorry

Heya Jimbo ... welcome to ThePhotoForum.
These are too many photos for individual critisism.
All I can see at a first glance is that you seem to have been to Europe, Paris and England (London).
You seem to know your way around aperture (when to go wide open and when to choose a small one), exposures look good, you can convert your photos into black&white... so you are on your way.
As for a country fair, my guess is that the third photo has the most potential as sunsets are a very popular thing with most!
A piece of advice: once you post more than three photos in one thread you best number them, so it is a lot easier for the other members to comment on them individually. OK?
Have fun!

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Number 3 is definitely my favorite, I love the range of colors.
