New to DSLRs

Hey everyone, I just picked up a canon eos 550d (t2i). I took these shots around UT (Go longhorns!) using the stock lens. Comments and suggestions are definitely welcome.

Very nice images. I like your composition, and the lighting works very well. I'm not sure if you did it on purpose, but I'd straighten the second photo. I actually like the tilt in the 5th photo, but I just don't think it works in that one with all of the negative space surrounding the building. Also, minor critique on the first photo, but I'd clone out the leaves in the top right corner (or just crop if you want to go old school). I'd also crop out the corner of the roof on the 4th photo.

Out of curiousity, what do you use for post processing. I'm assuming these aren't straight out of the camera.

Mike thank you for the suggestions. I use cs5 for my post processing. I really didn't notice the tilt in the 5th picture till you mentioned it. I had to sorta poke my camera through the fence to get that picture so that must have done it. Definitely going to act on those suggestions. Thank you again.
