I like this! They could be a little more clearer and you could have done the light better, maybe at a different time of day. But otherwise it was great! I loved how you did different things especially the sun glasses one and the shoes without feet in them! Great job!

1 - This photograph doesn't really work because there isn't focus on a subject, there is so much to look at that it makes the frame very messy. You aren't really leading the viewer through the photograph and using composition to do this. It seems like you have just randomly snapped a whole load of leaves. Next time it could be useful if, before you take a photo, you just think to yourself 'what am I taking a photo of?' and then you may be able to change your angle to kind of frame and encapsulate your subject within that photo.
2 - This is something that I see in a lot of peoples' photographs on here. I see that you are trying to frame the house with these blurry branches, which is good. It is good that you are thinking that way and trying to make your photograph more interesting than just a photo of a house. However the blurry branches here aren't doing the job that you want them to be doing. They are covering up your subject and making your frame look messy and that is something you do not want. So in future photographs be careful of that. Also I think you have some of your finger in the bottom right of the photo. All that said, the house looks in focus and I like the colour of the sky also.
3 - I quite like this shot. I like the composition and the lines that you have here. You are kind of leading the viewers eyes to the feet, which is good. You always need to think about how you are leading your viewers eye through the photo. I think that maybe you could have gone in a little tighter, so you get a little less of the grass and the Tarmac. But I like the colours and the focus on this one. Good job.
4 - I don't really like this one, mainly because the sunglasses are out of focus. The sunglasses are like your main subject of the photo and they are blurry so that is not good and even if you meant to have them out of focus and just have the background in focus I don't think that it works well because the sunglasses are in such a prominent position within the frame. Also I think that you have got too much grass in the shot at the bottom, which could be cropped out. On the other hand, I like that you thought of an interesting angle. You got down on the ground and then shot the image and I like that. So it's good that you are thinking of interesting angles instead of the obvious ones.
5 - Hmm I don't really like this last photo. I think it may be because the subject doesn't really thrill me. Personally I would have gone and taken a photo of that brown leaf in the grass. Composition wise it is fairly good but I think I would have gone in a little tighter because you have all this space around the shoes that make the photo a bit dull. This is kind of the opposite of the photo before. This angle is the kind of obvious angle I was talking about and makes everything seem a little dull. However I think the light is very good and the colours are great, especially how green the grass looks.
So next time you go out photographing just think about the subject of your photo and how you are going to encapsulate these subjects within the frame of your photograph and also always keep in mind the viewer of your photograph and how you are going to lead them through the photograph

Whoa, these are huge! Yes, it would be nice if you resized them next time.
Pic #1--OK, this is very nice and pretty, but some of the closer leaves are blurry. Like, quite a few leaves on the left side are unclear. However, I like how you incorporated the branches here.
Pic #2--Haha, nice. This makes me picture being some sort of undercover detective sent to spy on some secretive family/organization/thingy! Yes, I know, random, right?
Pic #3--Very interesting...hm. I don't think I have any criticism on this piece, except that I'd like the lone rock in the grass gone. Yes, definitely a nitpick!
Pic #4--I really like this one! Just want the closer blades of grass and the sunglasses to be a little clearer, y'know?
Pic #5--Very cool. I think, though, that the tip of the 2nd shoe sorta detracts from the pic. I mean, the shoes are pretty and all, but with just the tip of the other shoe, I want to see more.
Very good overall, though! I'm sorry if I seemed harsh, and please don't take it personally! I would love to see some more photos of yours.
