None of these really do much for me, but I'm a portrait photographer.. lol They ones of the buildings seem underexposed, the one of the street musicians seem over exposed, and the tomato picture just isn't interesting at all. :\ sorry.
I like the puppy picture, but the crop on yours does nothing for me, and its a little dark. I think the subject you were trying to get was the dog and not the human (I'm guessing because you chopped the head off the man), so I took cropped it a little different as an example of what I'm talking about. I also brought up the exposure. Anyways, that is just my opinion!

Thanks for your critique, I'm learning to take quality pics so I appreciate it.

I like what you did with the dog pic, very good and you are right as I was trying to get the dog and not the human but after I looked at the shot I realized it would have been a better pic with all of the person in it.
