Nothing awful here, but at the same time these images present as fairly casual snapshots. Do they merit what you've actually spent on your equipment? The answer's no. They could've been realised with a cheapish compact. But the world's your oyster. Think of it as an opportunity to up your game.
What I'd suggest is that you immerse yourself in looking at photographs - that's all photographs, but especially those made by people who are acknowledged in the field. There's a huge spectrum - you might relate more to some than others. Pause to ask yourself why this is. Look at Diane Arbus, for instance, not with any thought of mimicry but as a reference point.
And gradually, you might come to have a photographic voice.
A camera isn't a pet. It's not what you have, it's what you do.
The learning never stops.
