These are two pictures of perfume that I took in the spirit of Valentines Day which is coming soon. I'm rather proud of these, but still, please rip them to shreds! I need all of the constructive criticism I can get. That being said, I hope you enjoy and have a happy Valentine's Day.

So, I think that the main thing you could work on is the framing and focal point. In either one, I didn't really feel a purpose; there needs to be something that is obviously the center where the person viewing your photograph can focus. I really like the angles of them (especially the second), but work on making the lines seem to fit in the photograph, so it feels like you got everything in there, instead of feeling like the sides of your subject have leaked out the sides.
You might also consider processing these a little bit. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of photo manipulation, but oftentimes camera don't pick up the colors of real life. You can use a very basic program to do this. Oftentimes, they'll come with Windows or something, or you can download something like Gimp from the internet, which is a bit more complicated.
Overall, nice job; you definitely have a good eye for shots. Maybe work on the focus, focal points, and framing, but great job!
