I assume since you posted in UER Photo Critique, you're looking for a critique. so here goes:

1. is a throw away, it's just not that interesting.
2. if i were taking 2, i would have composed it differently. either getting a close up of the freshly carved heart or removing any distraction in the background by taking it from another angle. in this instance, the bridge is fighting for attention.
3. personally, i'm not in love with it. however, you might have been able to save it by getting lower and taking straight on. by doing so, the cement would be shaped like a cross and could add some symbolism.
4. again, a throw away. just not an interesting shot
5. There is no 5
6 tighter crop needed to see more detail in the graffiti
7. like the perspective. looks like this was taken during the midday, which is a tough time to shoot. early monring or late afternoon sun would add to it, but i like it.
8. THere is no 8
9. needs to be straightened

I like it. The chair shot is boring, but the bridge photo and the concrete photos are awesome!

Basically what fu man chu said
In a lot of your photos there is a lot to take in
You need to focus and centre on a single piece if that's what you want the attention on
In the graffiti shots and the bridge shots there is a lot of scenery to take in
You intent with the shot isn't clear

Use a smaller aperture (higher number) to get more in focus for landscapes, cityscapes or bridgscapes if that's a thing.. a decent circular polarizing filter for day shots, something decent but doesn't have to be the most expensive. I like Hoya filters. about $40 on amazon for a good one. That will help control the sky from blowing out. composition.. rule of thirds- look it up. and straighten them up unless you are going for a slanted shot which could look great if done right with the right subject. What are you using for post processing? lightroom and photoshop are the best. lightroom is really all you need though if you're not a pro. There is an auto straighten in lightroom that is easy to use.

#7 looks awesome! Love it!

#9 I agree, needs to be straightened and it would look pretty legit as well.

With the bridge photos tho you make me wanna climb the damn thing and take a shot looking straight down the bridge... That would be a interesting shot. But im in no way telling you or asking you to do such a thing. It's "dangerous".

All in all those two shots and the rest are kinda like...Boring?

My 2 cents

#9 was the only shot I found interesting. but I think its more the location rather then your techniques
