This photo works much better than the previous one, as the exceess mountain background is gone and the wonderful diagonal line of the dune in the bottom of the frame works really well. Also not the exposure and warmer feel of the photo compared to the first one. I really like how the lines in the photo really guide the eye through the frame.

I would recommend reworking this image to bring down the shadows a bit, as the whole scene overall is flat and lacks depth. Also bring up the warmth in the photo, as it doesn't have that warm morning light but rather a dull cool feel to it. I really like the strong textured foreground, as it really holds the frame well and brings a lot to the photograph.

Not sure what you were looking for in this photo. The building takes up half the frame and it doesn't really have a strong anchor to hold the eye in the frame. There is great depth from foreground to background, showing the expanse of the location, but the building in half of the frame doesn't make sense. Perhaps try cropping?

I really like what you did here with this perspective, shooting right on the windowsill of the car. Really nice. Only recommendation is to remove the two cars in the background as they are distracting. They don't really contrast old to new, but rather look like they were overlooked in the composition. Get them out and this will be a really, really nice photograph!

Close enough to touch it, go wide. Can't touch it, go long ... you shot this at 56mm, right in the middle, and it has that snapshot feel to it. The telephone pole in the background comes up right to the side of the 'couch, and with the massive depth of field, the pole becomes distracting. You could have gone with a longer focal length and let the background fall out of focus, or gone with a wider lens to show the isolation of this piece of installation artwork in the big expanse of desert.
