Since you're really wanting to know, I'll get into it here, but nobody start hating on me for being real, especially since the OP asked.
My first issue, you slap on some sort of water mark/copy right, which is basically saying, my stuff is so great I gotta protect it. That's what cracks me up the most, is the water marking.
The first image, ok, you've said something the effect that you were going for that grainy look, fair enough. But like other fellow mentioned, it's always wise to make your focus point the closest eye to you. But then, even the eye that is sort of focused, isn't really in focus either, so the whole thing is kind of off it seems.
Second image, same thing, after all, it's the same shot, but not grainy, or at least as grainy.
Third image, nothing special here, just someone cutting their own hair. Not a bad image per say, but simply just a snap shot, nothing unique really. Also, the overall color seems off, like maybe the white balance wasn't set right or something, I don't know.
All in all, they are just photos, snap shots. That camera and lens combo is capable of much more.
Lucky for you, you are willing and have a great attitude. Having thick skin can help out a lot, and so far, you seem to have that, so I respect you big time for it. Keep up the work, look at A TON of other peoples work and learn how to emulate it. From there you will learn so much about how to accomplish really good images.

The watermark is just the standard protection, plus its offered by LR5, therefore, I use it. The shots are handheld, despite my owning a very capable tripod, I was trying to capture the moment/snapshot before my wife disembowel me, as it is an important to realize, women don't like photo's taken, when they tell you, please don't take my photo, or I'll whoop your a@#! as far as the watermark thing on crap goes, the meowmix cat food folks used my crappy cellphone pic, albeit with my asked my unknowing permission self, on their Facebook, with over 1200plus likes, for free! its just my attempt at making sure im semi protected in the event i actually take a decent photo! I do try, however, i don't like the concept on immolation,er, immolation, so I try, try, and try to seek unique, but again, this was my try at using the elder 5D MK I with the neat 85L MK II, with the audacity to shoot handheld!! the weird thing is that i used the focal point arrangement on that eye, in order to get it as sharp as possible, the idea that an eye in focus, let alone the position, is a vague concept to me! i will try again, and again, sadly, my wife won't be around for me to do so!
