The odd angles are not a good thing in these cases - they simply seem skewed. I think shiiizam has given some good advice on a picture by picture basis. I'll try and add some in a more general sense - Focus - there is a lack of it in these images. You need to pick a definate focus, and you need to have a reason for doing so. All of these images are vague as to what you are trying to portray. they are this way for a number of reasons. One is very simply poor spatial arrangement - things are cut-off, butted up against the edge of the image, arranged without any beneficial composition. They all have potential.

The second one is shot from a decent angle. But.... It has the potential to be a visually astounding piece, and through it's simple physical function - if presented correctly - could lead people to see where such a gate could lead as opposed to just seeing a neat gate.
