Disclaimer: I am only commenting the picture as a viewer/consumer, as I am known not to have a good eye for photography.

Personally, none of the pictures worked for me.
I like the first picture best but the angle spoils it. If that is the only angle possible, I believe a wider picture will look better. Otherwise, I think I would prefer it from a lower perspective.

The second picture looks too tight and you had missed the best of the sun setting process.

The third picture lacks subject, too much empty space. Probably a wide perspective crop will improve the "story" by a lot.

For the forth and fifth, I would have preferred more of the background be in focus. I believe it will work for me as well if the bokeh is improved too. Those presented looks too much like off-focus rather than a sweet bokeh.

However, that's just me.

billy probably right about the pictures, I feel some of the pix needed more space, especially the sunset, the best of the lot is the 3rd pix, and you probably do better cropping away 1/3 or 1/2 the water, horizon is way to centralised for me. what's with that stick in your last 2 pix? it doesn't make the photo look more interesting, I think a person will do much better than a stick ;p.

last but not least, what's up with the watermark, I really get put off with watermarks smack at the middle of the photo ;p
