I saw photo 3 and just started singing Marius's "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" solo from Les Miz. It was an unexpectedly mournful image. Photo 4 is also bizarrely unsettling, and I think it's the notion that there should be activity and people and clamor and conversation in these spaces, but instead there is stillness that really sends a shiver down the spine. The shot with the two unkempt cars is less evocative, possibly because you don't expect there to be individuals around. Also, props for managing so many daytime shots with no people!
I appreciate the daytime shots, the emptiness is unexpected. The fourth picture is definitely my favorite, I find it especially intriguing when the subject captured is one that is usually teaming with life. This is something I feel you should continue thinking about when choosing your pictures. You also have nice, thoughtful compositions that add interest to each shot. The only thing I can think to critique is the lack of contrast in pictures like six and seven.
You have an eye for capture structures/ buildings. they are all really well done with your composition. The images are really sharp and did a great job getting good lighting for each one. I really like the one with the playground, it's odd to me how empty it is when one would imagine it being populated by laughing children and that just makes the image interesting.
