Hi Random! I'm going to attempt to review these, but you absolutely need to re-size in order to get more reviews. Right now, I am zoomed out of the web page 25% and can barely fit the pictures into one frame.
1. This is a pretty generic flower picture that seems to have had the saturation boosted, a little bit of a pet peeve of mine. The picture is also extremely blurry, which really detracts from the picture. Usually, with these types of pictures, I'd usually say that you could crop this picture up a bit to try and get a more interesting result, but I think the photo is too blurry for you to be able to do that. My advice is to go back out to your garden and get take this picture again, then crop it. Or play with the angles out in he field, so the picture is more interesting from the start.
2. Okay, this is much better. The slight shadows falling on the flower petals are awesome. The picture is much clearer here, too, so I would suggest you crop it down. Make it less of a head-on shot, and get just the edges of the flower. You might really have something here.
3. Pretty much everything that applied to the second one applies here. But this one seems more washed out, for some reason.
4. This is your best picture here, I think. But try cropping in a little, maybe getting rid of the sticks in the corner. Or crop in REALLY close into the flower, showing just the petals.
5. This really doesn't strike me as much. Its a red plant. In some irises, from the looks of it. Try to give this shot a focus, and it will be much better.
I'm sorry if this review has come across as harsh. I think you have potential, but you really need to look at giving your pictures a focus. Try downloading a really simple image edited program (like Picasa by Google, for example) and play with your pictures. Don't be afraid of the crop button! Some of the best images I've ever taken were only a fraction of the original shot. You can always undo it if you don't like it.

Aye aye aye! I agree with Kaedee. I'd be more than willing to critique your photographs once you resize them; I'm sure they're wonderful -- that is, from what I saw of them. Please just remind me in case I forget. For future reference, it might be a good idea to hit the "Preview" button right next to "Submit" prior to making your final post. That way, if you're not sure as to their size, you'll be able to see how they look before they're actually visible to others.
As soon as you resize these photos, like Kaedee and Abigail pointed out, feel free to PM me to come review. I'd be more than happy too; at the moment it's just a bit hard to see the pictures because of the size. The large size stretches out the pixels, too, so it makes it appear blurry.
If you need help resizing, I'm always here.

I think you are pretty great! I love nature, it always seems new to me. And when you take a picture, for once, it is new forever.
I do recommend you get a better camera though. But only if you're really dedicated to your photography. These look a tad bit blurry and some people might find that they're bad quality.
They also need to be resized. Ahhh! I can't see the full picture, so it's really hard to give any real advice. but keep taking pictures (: you will just keep getting better. obviously. haha.
The photos must be great! Like everyone else, re-size them, you can do it pretty easily on paint. Pictures of plants are always good, don't keep us away from them any longer!!! Nice seeing someone uploading something a little different for a change!
Hi CaptianRandom, I really liked your pictures!! Hahaha, your lucky to have so many great flowers in your garden. My garden has mainly grass and trees all featuring weeds.
Your photos are very clear except for the first one. When you are taking a photo change the focus around (if you can) so you can get the best picture possible. The only other thing is the size. Maybe re-size the photos so we don't have to scroll up and down to look at them.
Over all your photos were great and I hope you take more!
Thanx, watchmeburn
