These are really nice. You might think about leveling number three.

To begin with I am not an accomplished like most of these guys here are. So here is my 4 cents worth.
All photos very rich colors.
#1 is good composition. You need to be more level.
#4 very good composition, leading with the fence on the right and a touch of the palm tree above it.
#2 Sunset is awesome, the bottom black can be cropped by half. Try it and see if it works for you. And catching the sun ray's is good.
#3 hmmmmm. Not level. Not sure what you are trying to get here. Unbalanced?
Lots of trees to left, with big open space to right?
What would it look like if you stood in the middle of driveway.
I would take many approaches from left to right until I get what I like.

Example lesson: I took 5 different views of a remodeled shower(2 more than what the client showed me). How many more do you need, right? As the client was studying the photos he says to me, "Why didn't you take this angle of view?". From that time on, one view is not always the best view.

1 - I would have zoomed out or stepped back a bit to get the whole tree in and then cropped so that the bottom of the frame would be about where you have it now.

2 - The best of the set IMHO, I would crop the partial tree on the left out.

3 - That needs a lot of centering/leveling.

4 - The second best. I would have made it in portrait mode and lose the tree on the left but not a pixel more. I think you might like that variant better, but it’s certainly a good photo as is.

I hope this helps, and that’s my $0.02.

Aso, #2 might look striking as a blank and white.

May I tinker a bit with them?

Florida’s pretty flat. Pay attention to your horizons.

As with other GROUPS, all show their political bias, the Hogg isnt blatantly LEFT, but management does show an obvious favoring of liberal perspective. See what happens if you hint toward ANY CONSIDERATION of a RIGHT toleration! RJM

#2 is your best, then #4, but they all need to be leveled to some degree, but you did very good, don't give up.

#1 is very nice. #3, everything is falling off - horizon line is not horizontal.

And #1, which is otherwise a fine shot.

Just a little too much saturation work done. It is always best to err on the side of less. Just a hint of saturation is best, too much and they start to look gaudy.
