My comments or suggestions below are not a criticism of you, your model, your talent or skill. I offer them in a friendly tone of voice and with the sole intent to help you with a second POV and set of eyes. If you read sincere questions and simple suggestions as "criticism" of you, then you will miss how I am trying to help you.
Of course this may be your own "style" or your own "vision" and I suppose we can assume that the images look just like they do because that is exactly how you like them. That is OK too. It just shows that there are differences of "opinion" on what looks good. IF these are exactly what you want and like, then by all means continue making your images look like that and have fun doing it. As I always say: "Follow your own muse."

I don't want this to appear overly critical or as a personal attack (it is not that) because you posted something you like. It is your image (or selection of images) and your choice on what to show. I am merely giving you some comments and impression and simple suggestions in order to try to help you with a different POV and opinion. And I know how most photos here on this forum get few comments of any kind. Few people choose to help at all with any comments. So this "dialogue" may help stimulate others to enter into the discussion and they can help you with further/additional opinions.

Thank you for adding and posting the photos from Maine. I have not been there and I do hope to see it some day.
These are nice photos too.
I like seeing photos from places I have not yet seen (e.g. travel photos). It is one of the reasons I visit this forum.
Some of the best travel photos give me a "sense of place" and atmosphere. I find that this is usually when they show more than details that are more commonplace or found anywhere (e.g. show more than just shoes) so...
I prefer those that show something more "unique to the place" (e.g. 1, 2, 4).

I agree with you on that note. I have been trying to leave negative space in my pictures, I'm working on it. I appreciate you posting your POV, as well as all the others posting their thoughts & feedback. It's truly a blessing for those who do post, in fact I must start surfing and doing the same.
