The tilt of this photo looks disconcerting to me. Try rotating your photo a couple of degrees clock-wise, and see if it looks better.
The light fall-off at the corners is a concern as well, unless you intentionally added in slight vignetting in PP.
#2
This photo would look better without the red, slightly torn sticker.
Other than that, it seems to be an exercise in thin DOF only. Nothing really interesting in the composition. The texture of the box is plain, and the gold lettering is quite common.

With the repeating roofs of the shophouses, it would be a better idea to compose with the idea of juxtaposition, whereby you have a continuous pattern (the roofs) broken by something that stands out. I can't find any example pic at the moment.

This is a good one! Well exposed and nice blues!!

@ZerocoolAstra: thanks, that encourages me a lots. Yup, looks like the kit lens 18-105 has distortion which i have fully tested yet
you HAVE or HAVE NOT tested yet?
Anyway I was referring to perspective distortion, not lens distortion.
You were aiming upwards to frame in the building, which causes the keystone effect. Base of building appears larger than top, so the building looks like it slants inwards, like a pyramid.

Oops I meant have NOT tested barrel distortion at short focal length ;p.
I didn't know about the distortion caused by shooting upwards with wide angle, thanks for enlightening :thumbsup:

hopefully a helpful link that explains the keystone effect with regards to perspective distortion.
