i am new into (photography) my first camera in my life is the X100T ,,, so i will be happy to get you feedback

Welcome to the wonderful world of photography.  Some good work here but if I may make a suggestion; think a bit more about what your subject is.  While it's clear in some of these, in others the image is rather cluttered and the eye doesn't know  where it's supposed to be looking.  

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you , I really look forward to develop and sharp my skills more and more from your feedback and positive support

Love 1,2,6,7 and 8, well done! Since you asked for feedback, I'd echo what DIS said about choosing a subject in 3,4 and 5 (although I'm not sure he was referring to the same shots). Could 2 be cropped a little tighter (perhaps to square format) to emphasise the flags and lose the slightly distracting elements at the sides which might make it even stronger? Likewise the swings (might not work, of course, but worth a try)? Keep at it, a strong beginning here!

Don't be afraid to open the aperture a bit to blur the background also.  The thing I love about my X100T is the built in ND filter.  You can shoot wide open at f2 in broad daylight.  Like the picture of the swings, you probably could have blurred the stuff on the sides just a bit to set the swings apart.  My only other feedback is that some of these pics seem slightly underexposed (like 1/3 to 1/2 stop).  This may just be my preference speaking, but I'd bump the exposure of those just a bit.

 

Other than that, they look great! (3,4,6,7,8 in particular).  I really like the colors.

 

I was in Bahrain last summer, before I had my X100T, so only had iPhone pictures to show for it.

For a beginner (like I am) I'd advise quite the opposite : don't blurr the background at all, try for months to think your picture WITH the background in it until it becomes automatic.

 

Only use larger apertures if light doesn't allow you to shoot around f/8 (and bump iso first before doing so). It's the best practice, bokeh should not be an "artistic" way to make up for poor composition.

Like owjcave stated, Bokeh is for isolating your subject.  There is nothing compositionally wrong with the swing set image IMO, but there are too many distracting elements in the background though.

Many thanks to all
