Good shots. I have a couple of suggestions that might improve the shots. In the first one you really have two great photo opportunities there. One is the bridge and the other is the old dock. As the shot stands the viewer's interest is divided between what is on the left and what is on the right. Shoot them separately. In the second one is a good composition but lacks a point of interest. If the people way off in the distance were a lot closer and in the foreground you would have your point of interest. Then it would be a much better picture. Good shot of the car. Night shots sometimes don't work but this one is good. I would suggest cropping it down to make the care more prominent, it is your point of interest. Cut out most of the parking lot foreground and the empty space on the left. Keep the car in the lower right third of the shot. Very good shooting. You have the basics for some good pictures. Would like to see more of them.

I like the last shot very much. Perspective, exposure, composition, DOF... all looks perfect to me. Before printing it large you might want to straighten the horizon and voilà.

@Essence of Imagery thanks for the suggestion, I googled it and it looks like a very nice place I will have to check that out after my 10 days straight I have to work this week!

And thanks everyone, Anyone have any tips on straightening out the pier picture without ruining the quality? I did it in photoscape(backup editing program) and its not as clear as it was before. Maybe some trim? Im not sure.

Heres a few more from Shoreline Park in Mountain View, CA!
