#2 - nice but it looks liek the bottom's chopped off
#3 - the foregound is underexposed and there's not much going on in the sky, so there's no real point of interest here.
#4 - the sky should be underexposed to bring out the reds (you can try darkening in PS to add saturation) and the foreground isn't great for creating a silhouette.
#5 - I like this, my favourite of the lot
#6 - nice but way too much black.
#7 - lacks sharpness and the subject doesn't stand out against the background
#8 - nice, though I would increase contrast and greyscale it to remove the greenish tint at the bottom
