Wow, these are really great shots. I'm surprised because you say you've done no editing to them. That's kind of amazing, for these pictures to still look as good as they do in their natural state. You must have one really great camera.
I think the first one is above all my favorite. The shot is just striking in itself with the little fuzzy bee sitting on top of the flower. The background just seems to blur into nothing, causing the objects in the near sight to appear very prominent and sharp. The colors are beautiful as well. I have no complaints with this one!
Roses are my favorite flower, and they seems to always photograph really well no matter what, so it's nice to see you choose this dusty pink rose as another subject. The petals looks withered and pale. It sets off this very soft mood and it evokes a calm sort of feeling. Again, I have no complaints over this shot either. You have the image focused just where you want it to be, and I love the angle.
Now, as for your third picture, compared to the first two this one doesn't seem to have as much going on for it. For one the colors appear a little too muted and the flower you've taken a shot of is a bit boring to be blunt. There's nothing as special about this shot compared to the one you did of the rose. Despite it also having a sort of washed out tone to it, the rose has character. The petals were interesting to look at the way the image was focused and the background blurred into nothing. This third shot here of the purple flower shows not enough strength, and there's a bit too much blur going on and not enough focus for me.
The parrot is beautiful! The red of his feathers and that focus of the blue eye, it's so wonderful. I really like this one, too, where he's just glancing over his shoulder it seems. The way you've blurred the trees in the background and kept focus with the bird contrasts so well in this shot I think. So nice job again. I'm liking all the detail showing up in his beak as well. Everything just appears so sharp.
The last one here appears a bit too blurry for my liking, I think. I really am loving the angle you have going on here, especially with the dew in the grass glimmering in the early sun. What I would have like to've seen I guess is the blades of the grass appear sharper. At least the majority of them. It just looks a little too soft to me. But other than that, I think you have another really nice picture.
Anyway, keep up they awesome photography for sure! You seem to have some sort of knack for it. Practice only makes you better though. I look forward to seeing more of your shots posted up on the site.
For the last one I have many diffrent versions of it, I'm actuly going to upload another one with that same concept with the grass and the sunset stuff. Thank you! :3
And I know the purple one isn't my favorite, and it looks better when it is edited, but thats just the raw version.
I love these, the first two especially! The lighting is just so pretty...it's perfect. I also liked the third and the fourth is nice also. I thought the fifth was just a little typical and I still wasn't completely won over with the parrot picture (even though parrots are AWESOME), but they were still nice. Overall, this was a completely unhelpful review I'm sure but all the same I liked these.

The first thing I want to say is WOOOW! And no editing double WOOOW! I love all the pictures you've taken and you're very talented!!! My favourite one is the second one to top, I think it looks very magical I love the way you can see you dew drops on the grass in the sunlight! In your pictures the backgrounds a faded and fussy so the main aspect really stands out which i really like and think is just amazing. And I really love the way you've done no editing at all which means your talented enough not to, you can get it perfect and you have done! I think you should keep to taking photos, but maybe do something a little more challenging now! Hope i've helped!!
Second of all, I love the withering rose. It's so beautiful and sad at the same time, and the colors just add to the mood...kind of like a scene in a movie where it's raining, only instead of rain, you would show a shot of this road to get the mood across.
The bee was also pretty cool, although not on par with the parrot - I think just because it was a smaller target and doesn't just quite hit you the way the parrot does.
I love the lighting in the first two, and I like the softness of them, but I think they would be better if the grass to the foreground was more in-focus. That would give us a more definite focal point to look to.
