I really like the last one - nice composition and colors.

For the Sackville Landing pic, think about having the sign in focus with a large DoF to get the sailor in the background close to focused, but still a tad blurred. Also try a slightly different angle to lose the trash can.

The first pic could probably use a much wider angle. It doesn't hold much interest for me as is.

The second pic I think could use a slightly different angle, but I'm not sure which direction to move. It has potential and good DoF.

The cruise ship has some nice lighting. I think the composition would be improved with a slightly swing to the left of the camera to give the ship some more "room" to sail into the frame.

Welcome to DGrin. Keep shooting and posting!

Very nice shots

I agree about the first shot: there's no center of attention, I don't see what I'm supposed to be looking at/for.

I think the second and third suffer a bit from the same thing. I'm not a big fan of horizons in the middle portion of the photo, so I'd try to crop some sky or crop some of the water, so as to show what you want to emphasize in the picture. For instance, in the third one, it seems like the fences/horses are the shot, and the clouds aren't; bring the crop in on the top to change that emphasis.

The fourth is nicely framed, but suffers from a very busy background. I wonder if the previously suggested focus change would help with that; I'm not sure. Depends on how far away the office building is to the statue.

I really like the fifth one; it's my favorite of the bunch. I think you could crop the right bit of it (those errant ducks in the lead, and the bird/smokestack) to tighten the focus to the man, the dock, and the ship. Or, you could try the other way around, cropping out the dock but keeping the ducks. Docks or ducks? I'm looking at this and thinking that I'm perhaps a bit singular in my focus in an individual picture.

The fifth one I have no constructive comment on. It doesn't ellicit anything for me, but then again, it's gotten you a positive review from another, so it must work for him and you

All in all, a very nice body of work!
