Cliffs -
#1 Doesn't really follow the rule of thirds, seems a bit too centred.
#2 Best of the cliff images imo, sharp, vibrant colours and better composition.
#3 Seems a little blurred.
#4/5 Both pretty good. Can't really see how to improve them much.
Dragonfly -
#1 Is out of focus, shame because it would have made a great picture.
#2 Is much sharper/in focus but isn't at an ideal angle. Still quite nice though.
Random caves -
#1 There doesn't seem to be any contrast so the stalactites don't really stand out.
#2 Better, you haven't used a flash in this and the shadows make them much more defined.
#3 Little bit blurred due to the long exposure.
Kefalonia -
#1 Little blown out at the top, otherwise good.
#2 Blurry and overexposed I'm afraid. To avoid this try using a higher ISO and a lower F/stop (say 400ISO, 3.6F/stop if possible). This will let you use a quicker shutter speed and should stop the problem with blurring
#3 Quite nice, a little over exposed but nothing major. This is probably fixable in PS. Here is a very quick attempt:
#4/5 Again not bad but a little blown out at the top.
Last picture - Really like this, easily the best of them all imo
Not bad at all for a first attempt!

Thanks for the comments there Rai , most of the images where taken on a boat so it was quite hard to take any still photos & also i was quite far away from the clifs, I’m pretty gutted about the dragon fly also, i was using the macro feature and it didn't really work out 
the images in the caves where hard also as the top of the cave was collapsed the sun was beaming through the hole n made a mess of some shots.
but I’m still very happy with the images i took! and very very pleased with the camera.
