Thanks everyone! I have to admit there are not only many aspects to learn but there is also
#2 - I agree. I did shoot other angles but they didn't result in anything better. I will go back though and keep shooting
#1 - yes, I saw that too but when I look at it on the home computer screen, it looks straight (am on the work computer at the moment) I am starting to think that screen might have a bias due to it being tilted slightly upwards and also being the right hand screen.You've received a lot of comment on your pics, but do continue exploring atmospheric mood, composition, and learning. You are on the right track.
1. The pics of the river feels like the scene is tilting to the left. Maybe rotate the image to the right just a tad.
2. The overall composition and tones of the pier picture are nice, but consider darkening the foreground using your photo editing app. Lead the viewer further into your composition. Landscapes by Ansel Adams serve as good examples. Also, think of that pier composition as having 3 broad lines. Where do these lines lead the viewer? In this case... out of the frame.
Perhaps revisit the pier if possible and explore other vantage points, there may be some rewarding possibilities... piers are intriguing.
