I recently got a new DSLR and I'm going to post a couple pictures for critiques and tips. Or anything that I haven't noticed that I should fix.
I have a Canon Rebel T5 with the 18-55mm lens that they come with and a 50mm f/1.8.

Congrats on the new camera! I like the first one, it has good color. I think if the background were a little more in focus it would be awesome, but that is subjective on my part.
The second one has great subject matter, but it's hard to find my way around it. As it sits, it's a little too busy
the light and color in number three are very nice. The focus in spot on too. Maybe straighten it out a little, but there are few competing lines to choose from.
The last one is great, but a little underexposed.
Overall good composition though.
You should have a lot of fun with that 50mm lens!

Good call on the "Nifty Fifty"! I have one, my mentor has one, mostly everyone has one. They're small, light, reliable and great for all-round work.
Try exploring with ONLY the 50 and see what kind of images you come back with. It will force you to think differently instead of just zooming to get the composition you want.
Also, I suggest shooting raw and playing with the levels later, just a bit. You can get some sweet detail that JPG just can't provide.
Enjoy the new cam!
Edit: Also with shots 1 & 2, don't cut off part of anything (object, person, idea, line, shape) unless it's intentional. Frame it in or out, or know WHY you're cutting part of it off. The first one, for instance, is a little weird-feeling because you've cut off part of this metal contraption and the location at which you put the edges of the frame doesn't add to the photo. Hope that makes sense ;)

Keep in mind that because of the crop factor, the 50 is more like an 80-ish, not so great for cramped spaces, but the low f/ is definitely worthwhile. Have fun with it!
