Hi there,

Just some thoughts for discussion.
Most of the shots look rather soft, did you use a tripod for these shots?

For #2, it looks like flaring from those street lights, so do take note and try to shift the position slightly to avoid it.

For #4 and #5, do take note of those unwanted subjects like the pole and breakwater in the frame and avoid them.

Do try to shoot more and see how you can improve. Cheerz.

Getting a good tripod is very important for night photography. You might need a remote trigger or use timer mode to avoid shake even on a tripod.

Getting a good exposure is important, couple with the use of creativity for composition will add the touch.

Try to shoot more and learn along the way. Cheerz.
