1)


Shutter Speed 15
Aperture F16.0
Focal Length 50
ISO 200
-----------------------------------------------------------------
the structure horizon is very straight, try get the vertical line .

2)


Shutter Speed 25
Aperture F16.0
Focal Length 25
ISO 200

-----------------------------------------------------------------
the spot light on the left can be avoided


3)


Shutter Speed 15
Aperture F14.0
Focal Length 25
ISO 200

----------------------------------------------------------
horizon is off, and it will be better if you either cut the bottom or include the whole bottom


All the shots, details are not good, cos the shutter speed u use is too fast, u need to set it on longer exposure to capture the details, aperture was too small,

Suggestion, since yours is D90 and ISO is min 200.. stick to ISO 200, set aperture to f8, play with the shutter speed, every composition you can try with 3 kind of shutter setting, u can use the exposure metering/reading to play, try under, centre and over expose it.

yup agree, but i think for picture 3 since he's capturing objects spreading across the front to the back, f11 to f16 may give him better sharpness, depending on lense and other factors of course.

shutter speed definitely too fast, which means a tripod is needed too.
