Had a little walk around a couple of local villages at the weekend and took some snaps while I was there.

General comment - Some of them definitely need levelling as the houses look like they have a habit of leaning back.

#2 has potential, unfortunately it was the wrong time of day for that shot due to the contrast of the sun and shade imo. The wall could provide good leading lines but I have a feeling there must be a slightly better perspective there somewhere. (ditto #1)
#4 is an interesting subject although it is right in the middle of the frame.
#5 is a good idea
#6 I like.. i do like this kind of shot and #7 is interesting
#10 I feel again like the perspective if it were a little different may introduce the fence as a leading line - but I don't know for sure!

Thanks Zogger. I see what you mean about the house's leaning back, will have a play about and see if I can straighten them.

I was thinking about additional perspectives for 1 & 2 and have a couple of idea's that I'll try out. Unfortunately its a busy little village and cars tend to get in the way.
 
I like the photos from the first set more. Better lighting and compositions I think.
In the second set a lot of the photos have the subject int he very center which works best when dealing with a symmetric subject and you want to emphasise the symmetry. Otherwise you will typically find if the subject is off-centered there is more interest and balance.

Some peple will talk about the "rule of thirds" it is a horrible piece of advice because it is far too simplistic. Composition is very complicated with many factors involved. However, if you do move the subject towards the edges you might find you get better results.

Photos 1 & 7 support the symmetric centering, photos 2,3,5 & 6 would be better, IMHO, with the subject towards an edge or corner as a starting point.
 
Looks like a really scenic place just begging to be photographed during the golden hours (dusk and dawn). I would definitely go back twice more druing those times and see it as a totally different landscape.

Because the photos in your first post were taken around the same daylight hours it's not as easy to see the composition you would otherwise immediately spot during the moments of awesome light.
