Trying photography...

[glowbelly]

the last 2 are really good. nice composition and monotone color.

the others, while i like the idea, i think you need to pay more attention to your lines. industrial settings tend to be linear and straight. a lot of your photos have a nice feel to them compositionally, but are slightly off because of camera tilt or even the placement of the lighter. if you want to get the feel that this lighter has been placed there, you need to make it really look like someone took the time to place it.

for example: the snap with the lighter on the grid would benefit from moving the lighter just a bit so it lined up with the grid lines beneath. of course, this is just my opinion.

technically, you're right. your focus is a bit off. i'm not sure what kind of camera you are using or the extent of your knowledge when it comes to how a camera works. i can help you with that stuff if you have any questions, though.
