What don't you like exactly?

Looking at the samples off the top I find them a bit on the blue side but that is easily corrected. The second shot looks maybe a 1/2 stop lighter then the one above and below it but also a bit blue. This could be compensated for by adjusting in camera settings as someone else has mentioned. I find the colours of 1 and 3 a bit over saturated but not awful mainly though it's the cooler colour tone that strikes me though you have a nice Fuji blue sky.

Otherwise in terms of exposure and sharpness I don't see anything glaringly wrong with the photos. I've also noticed something that I can't say I've seen mentioned anywhere and that is that I find there is a bit of a break in or perhaps burn in period with a digital camera. I almost want to say the camera is learning how you shoot though my best guess is that the sensor and electronics are 'settling' in or perhaps I am subtly compensating for what I am seeing. I know that I typically set all my cameras to be -1/3 on exposure compensation.
