I like #1 and #8 quite well. There's a very ethereal quality to them, with the white filmy drapes and the almost but not quite obscured figure. There's a mysterious feel to them, and a lot of visual drama. If you were trying for portraits, you failed utterly, but if you were trying for a dreamy mysterious image, they're both quite good
#2, #4 and #7 (the various plant life studies) all suffer from extremely flat lighting. It looks like it was overcast? This solves the sort of lighting problems you experienced shooting #1 and #8, but at the expense of making very flat images. The compositions are not striking or amazing, but they show something of an eye for form and balance. With better light, these would be fine photographs.
#6, the baby, has the same flat light. Kids are pretty great as subjects, but the flat lighting does this one no favors, and he (?) isn't doing anything terrible interesting. Staring gape-mouthed isn't as attractive or interesting as manifesting some emotion or another.
#3 The dog is pretty good, see how the light makes things more interesting? The focus should be on the eyes, as suggested earlier.
#5 The reflection is quite nice. Good shapes and lines and things going on there, some nice visual pop from the black reflected bars, the shiny water, and the warm bright spot on the pavement. This is where your grasp of form and composition gets room to breathe unhampered by bad light
