I'm getting closer but just not making it. Is there something I'm obviously doing wrong? Is it my subject selections? Is it something technically glaring? Do I need to keep shooting? Please be honest, I'm old, I'll forget what you said by tomorrow.

Since you asked, I'll be brutal here:
#1 can't decide whether it is a landscape or a picture of a factory. The factory doesn't stand out enough to hold the image as the primary subject but is still too dominant to let the image be about anything else. You sometimes see shots like this in corporate reports when the company needs to show their plant but is uncomfortable with their industrial image.
#2 I like this. The leaves and the reflection of the sky in the foreground, the trees in the background and the nice lines leading me into the frame. I do wish there was a bit more detail in the shadows.
#3 This sunset would be a great backdrop for an interesting foreground, but it isn't really strong enough to carry the photo on its own.
#4 I am honestly not sure what I am supposed to be looking at here.

I do find that the bright highlight on the right hand side yanks my eye to that side of the picture. You might consider a crop or toning it down in post-processing.

I like #2 and #3.
The filtered light through the trees on #2 is positively lovely! But the photo looks a little tilted to the right.
The perspective of #3 is very good. Have you tried a horizontal crop on that one? If you cropped from the bottom, it would get rid of some of the dead space that's there and pull the eye toward the buildings and the sky.

Good luck to all of you as well....
