Hey! Here to review. :D

Alright, I'm just going to quickly say my thoughts about each photo then give an QUICK overall insight on your photography. Here goes...

1. I have to say, I don't particularly like the angle because it just makes everything seem darker than it is. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for, however, I did like the shadows that were creates and how the central image wasn't blurred like the rest of it.

2. Ooh, I like it! The angle is really superb and the quality is amazing. I like how the colours are shown in this picture and I like how the Rubik's cube isn't finished (so it's still jumbled up). Maybe you could try (if you haven't already done so) using a finished Rubik's cube, but I'm not sure if that would look boring- something for you to try! :D

3. I'm not sure, but there is something about this picture which buggs me. Mind you, I wouldn't be able to do anything like that. I think it's because I've seen so many pictures like this. But, I did like how the colours came about, and how some parts are completely dark.

4. The focus on the leaves coming from the wall is really excellent and in good quality. I like how the other side is blurry. Anyway, maybe you could change the proportions a bit? Because, I have to say, I'm not sure whether I'm more drawn to the blurred wall or the leaves.

5. Now, I kind of find this picture a bit boring, other than the fact the text message says 'Day 16', I can't see any more into it. I do like how the hands are placed, so it looks like you (?) have just written the message.

6. I don't have any complaints about this photo, I actually really like it. I love how some of the smaller bits of pencil sharpenings almost look as if they are flying. In the background, the compass and the pencil almost look like they've collided into one. Well done!

7. D'awwe, this is really sweet. Again, I don't have any complaints, but a small question, Why does she have blue marks on her fur? o.O. It's very focused on the animal and stuff so yeah 8).

8. Again, very cute. Where do you live? I wanna' live there! I love the quality and how the animal is in one corner as if looking at the rest of the photo.

9. This is really good! The raindrops on the blades of grass look really fantastic! What I didn't like was how some of it was clocked by more blurry parts.

10. AWWWE. Now, onto an actual photo comment, :P. Again, really good, I like the focus of it. Again, I didn't like the blades of grass which were blurry at the front, I would've preferred the rock to be totally clear, if you know what I mean...I hope you do.

11. Superb! I generally do like it. I love the way the sky is blue and slowly gets to a solid orange colour. I also like the scenery, and how there are a few silhouettes of plants. :)

Overall:
I think you are a really good photographer with heaps and heaps of potential. What camera do you use, by the way? My favourite is probably number two, I really liked the colours used (as said before :P). I rally like your style of photography, and I like the fact that you don't repeat the same angle in all your pictures and your experimenting with different things. Alright, well done!

Keep clicking and I hope I helped!

Thank you everyone! :)
@Inbetweener, firstly thank you for the lengthy review! You clearly went to a lot of effort there, and it was really appreciated! I do like how some photos you like, and some you don't. Mostly because the ones you don't like, some of my friends do like. It's really good to know your photos do appeal to different kinds of people in a way :)
Secondly, I live on a farm in Northern Ireland, so any animal shots are pretty easy for me. It's just a matter of walking 10 minutes then just sitting on a stone wall and snappin' away! It also helps that our animals are really tame, so they bring their babies over with them - you get really nice close ups :D
Although, I do have a reasonable camera, so I have it to thank too. It's just a beginner DSLR - a Sony A380. It was the cheapest DSLR I could find at £299, because it was gonna be discontinued :) But I love it. I recently bought a telephoto lens for it (Tamron 70-300mm), and it's what I've been using for the sheep photos. It's so so good :D.
OH! And the blue marks are just a sheep marker - farmers put them on to be able to match a lamb with it's number, by using a number, and then another mark which all farmers do differently, so if one of the sheep/lambs manages to get into another farmers field, you can prove it's yours.

Thanks again! :)
