@OP, if you want the buttered down wattery shit that people who don't REALLY care about your improvement are gonig to tell you then
"Good job, keep it up, you're getting there

" But from my experience you'll only improve slower, because until you see things you dislike in your own work, you won't start doing things to improve on it. The tough love approach works best in photography.
Use a lens hood in such sunny conditions next time, don't have one? Cup your hand, or rubber band a bent note card over the front edge of the lens. Try shooting in RAW for better color preservation and your composition is your current strongest point.
Also just checked your EXIF Data, and you shouldn't be using ISO 400 in such bright conditions, it's what is causing your blown highlights, detail loss, and color washing in combination with the lack of a lens hood. Also go out ad buy a Canon EF 50 1:1.8 (like $100, not so bad) and start using it for most of your shots. One of the sharpest lenses for the money, and being a prime will REALLY force you to get better.
