Good use of DOF and colour.

Good first efforts, its probably worth reading up on some basics regarding composition, I think the limes would have working better if it was totally in frame and not bang in the middle, as with the seat also.

Nice starting pictures, well exposed and good colours. As said, working on composition is the next step.

The 2nd shot might be better vertical

The 3rd shot has a lot of potential and good composition IMO.
Same with the 4th except abit more cropping on the left and right to get rid of the frame. Square framing it isn't going to be an issue.
5th shot feels a tat under exposed but I know what you're trying to get. Perhaps brightening up the background or even go back and white but up the exposure and contrast to emphasise the background's light against foreground dark.

1st and last shot isn't anything special imo.

You're improving
