I don't understand the first two photos in relation to your theme but they are nicely framed and i like the lines it and triangular shapes they create. As for the photos of water they are nicely shot but i would like to really see the pollution!
I appreciate you playing around with shooting water since this is going to be a huge part of your final project theme. The first image isn't my favorite - the light pole is distracting. However, the last photo is very interesting to me. I like the water i the air, even though it's hard to see it with the cloud in the background. When I was looking at the water pictures, I didn't recognize the trash right away. So maybe you can try to capture the trash where it's more apparent to the viewer. I also really like the composition of the second image - it's clean and crisp, and dynamic. I also would like to see more of the pollution.
You are able to create a lot of depth with a simple subject. I would try to practice more on creating compositions that have more than one subject, however, especially since your story pertains to trash.
These photos don't relate to your theme of pollution very much, but like Angelica said, it's good you're shooting water to get familiar with angles and the way light reflects off of it. To get your message of pollution across, it has to be really evident in the frame.
I felt like the one with the turtle was the only one that really emphasized your concept because it makes me think about how pollution affects the animals that live in the water.
I agree with Michael and I think you should zoom in more on the trash and really interact with it as a photo subject. There's a lot of potential with the subject and you need to capitalize on it and play around in the element (trash).
I think the photo of the turtle most successfully embodied your theme of pollution (if the turtle is swimming on a trash but I really can't tell) while others are not that successful. However, if you failed to find real polluted springs/lakes/rivers, I think you can use some objects in life to metaphor the pollution, such as the idea of dropping ink in water you mentioned earlier.
I think these photos can be pushed more. Maybe choose a place where you can get really close to the trash (w/o risking your camera ofc) to photograph it. I think it's good you're familiarizing yourself with your subject though, and experimenting!
