digitally-yours, there's nothing wrong with them, for a beginner hobby.
I like some of the coast ones.
And the last CharelsLand one too

I like the coastal ones a lot, I must say. The colours are really nice in them. The urban ones don't quite do it for me, but that's a matter of taste.

I'm going to only say one thing about the coastal shots and that is the horizon is not straight in quite a few of them.

There are two solutions to this problem 1) shoot them straight or 2) fix them later with image processing software. If you are at leisure to make the shot (which you are in all of these) you should aim to try and shoot them straight because fixing them later with something like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements means you will either have to crop or clone the edges (cropping is way easier).

by using the manual settings you can adjust things like the exposure, the white balance

a lot of the images seem to be a bit dark with bright sky, experimenting with the camera settings you should be able to figure out how to get better results for different conditions. One thing that makes a big differance is finding out how to balance the exposure to get a picture thats not too dark with a sky thats bright. Even in auto mode you should be able to get a balanced shot. This explains it a bit http://www.easyphotography.info/tips-on-how-to-take-good-pictures-using-your-digital-camera.htm#manual

keep taking photos, try to make them interesting and figure out what sort of lighting makes shots look good. Some of your scenery shots aren't too bad. When the sun is lower in the sky it can really add to scenery shots, adding shadows, contrast colour. bright sunny middle of the day you mightn't get as good a shot

Keep an eye on the horizon - some of them are not level, and it can really take away from an otherwise nice pic ... I think you'd benefit from learning the rule of thirds. When I put that into practice, it made a world of difference to my shots.

The rule of thirds is a guideline for composing your photo. The idea is that you split the frame into thirds, both vertically and horizontally, then place your main subject on one of the intersection points of these lines. See here for more info and an example..

Thank u

Any tips how I can put that into practice??

i.e. is there any special setting in the digital camera that would help to do this??

I have a Canon P&S and I can overlay a rule of thirds grid on the LCD screen. What kinda camera you got?

Once you have the rule of turds down, try the 'Golden Mean' on for size.
