Well done. They look a touch underexposed but it would have been difficult to get the proper exposure on the windows. Composition is good; lines are straight. Nice.

They are a bit dark. You could try bracketed shots to avoid blowing out the windows, or light painting/flashes for filler light. The on-camera flash is kinda crappy though so I wouldn't suggest using that.

I would also suggest dropping the ISO a bit. The rebel XS was my first dslr and I used it for years. ISO 800 is too high. You've got a lot of color noise in your photos. I'm guessing you did a fair amount of noise reduction in some of them, but even so, that only softens your photos.

For urbex photography, patience is key when using that camera. Try opting for longer exposures and a lower ISO. I'd also suggest, if you're not doing it already, shooting in raw and doing your post-processing in Lightroom. I cannot even being to tell you the world of difference that made in my photos. You are doing really well with it so far though, it took me a few explores to get to the point you're at with it.

I'll definitely work on that next time I venture out, thank you so much!

As has been said, your composition is solid and your lines are good. Underexposed in 1-4, but I really like how you captured the beam of light in 5. Some of these might look really good in black and white, too.

One smaller critique is all your angles seem a little expected. Perhaps try to work on getting more interesting angles -- all of these look like they're shot from a similar height. Variation of angle really helps with making your shots more interesting.

That said, good work and keep shooting.
