I've mentioned a few times that when sky is included in a picture it is rough going for the most part. Do you see how in the very top one the light intensity in the sky makes the foreground quite dark? HDR computational photography has helped with this problem as with the Puerto Rico pictures… But even better are the New York City pictures at night where the sky is black and allows the buildings to become more predominant. Another strategy is to eliminate the sky during the daytime entirely unless the photograph is really about the sky.
Week seven is another look at geometric composition but using found online resources where you can zoom in close and fill the frame with geometry. It's okay to use your own shots if they fit the bill. The strongest one in this vein is the shot out of the drivers window with the rearview mirror in the foreground. The geometry of that shot is strong.
