Needs more contrast...blacks would make the images pop more. This was the toughest thing for me to understand just starting out. Overall, composition seems decent, but who am I to comment on composition?
Are these scans from your prints, or the negs? If the darkroom you're using (I'm assuming your school's) has enlargers that can be used for color printing (ones that can adjust CMY levels, you can also use filters), try messing around with the Magenta and Yellow levels. It sounds weird, but give it a try. More magenta will burn in shadows while leaving highlights pretty much alone, thus producing more contrast. Yellow will do the opposite, making the image flatter; it's a nice way to recover a lot of highlight detail for tough burns. Keep in mind that the filters will block some light, and you'll have to adjust your exposure accordingly.
