Overall, the photos are very good! Excellent shoot with a new DC.
- what is the white balance setting in (6)?
- In (8), I guess you want to put the birds as the main subject, but the longest focus length of the DC was still not long enough. That shoot become a 山水 shoot instead of bird shoot.
In this case, if you zoom out a bit, let us see the whole mountain, then solve the problem of ratio between mountain & pier, which 天后 师姊(or ching?)mentioned.
- I think (11) has the same problem. You wanted the statue as the subject, but reader (天后师姊) don't agree (don't like). I also think so, may be the statue base square is too large. That black square is large but doesn't carry any message.
