The first thing I think is, Please put your pictures in spoilers and re-size them! O.K. I will get down to business.
1. I really like this, though it isn't what you would call creative. I would like to see it in color. I don't like how you can see the trees at the bottom of the picture.
2. I like the picture, again it is not creative though. Just the basic flower shot. It is not very good quality. I think it is too bright?
3. There isn't a subject to this. Or at least that I can find. It is kind of bland with a lot going on at the same time. It is too little to look at and too much.
4. This is also a not good quality. I can't see the details. I would make it more centered too, if that is the affect you are going for.
5. I like this one more than the other flowers. But, it is not good quality. Maybe it is your camera. If it is sorry I keep saying it over and over again.
6. Wow. I really like this. I would play with tons of different angles. Maybe from below, from the side... Show me the results! Sorry got to go,

1) This is my favorite. Was this taken on a cliff? It really looks good, with the cloud textures that you can see in the background. My only wish is that you could have gotten a bit of the actual ground in the shot. The grass shoot sort of look like they are floating, which I don't like.
2) I like this one, too. Many people, when taking flower pictures, tend to look for the most perfect flower they can find. You haven't done that. This flower has (obviously) seen better days, but it still looks good in the picture. The textures are really cool, too. The picture does come across as a little blurry, and a little washed out. If one or the other of these problems (or both!) were solved, it would really bring the picture up to another level.
3) This picture is where I started to see a recurring problem with very, very busy pictures. I think I see what you were trying to do here, adding depth to the picture by including the grass stems. But it doesn't cut it for me. Maybe without the brown grass, it might have looked better.
4) I like this picture, but it is a little dull for me. The brown diagonal thing in the top right corner bothers me, though. I think if you gave it an interesting crop it would be better.
5) I think this is the same flower as the picture in number 2, and I like the way you did the other picture better. This is almost a head-on shot, and is dull to me.
6) I really like the detail you can see in this flower (clover?). I would crop in closer to the flower, though. If you want to keep this crop, however, I would rotate the picture so that the stem is coming from the bottom. As it, the picture makes me tilt my head a little.
7) This picture has potential, but you should crop out the plant life in the bottom of the picture. It is distracting to me. But this picture has a lot of potential. I think you should go back to this spot (if possible) and take the same shot at a different time of day.
This picture is too busy for me. It doesn't really have a clear focus, and the contrast from tree to tree is not great. If there were more shadows in the picture, it might be improved. Play with the angles at this spot, and you might get a better shot. I'd try to concentrate on that fence post. Might be interesting.
9) I like the concept for this picture, but I think it looks a little washed out. I think you might have tried to balance the photo with the green tree and the dead tree. But it makes it feel unbalanced to me.
10) Okay. I love the concept for this one. It has the potential to be a great picture. But it looks like you shot this at midday, which isn't a great time for pictures (although sometimes that can't be helped). This picture is very washed out. I really wish you could have come back, say, late afternoon/early evening? This picture is also a little out of focus. This might be a camera issue, though.
Some of these pictures have a lot of potential to them. Keep practicing! I hope I've been helpful.

I like these. The first few are very nice, though sort of boring. I liked the one of the purple flower pest. It shows beautiful contrast between the green backround and the flower. i love the little shiny things on the edge of each petal too, its cool. With the last three pictures, i felt as if they were too much. The trees and vines and plants and green and blah! Too much in one picture! I think you could use more in your pictures. Maybe a different veiw. Yes, thats it. Use birds eye veiw or worms eye view. That would look amazing! Your photographs are great, good luck!
When all you have is nothing, there is alot to go around.
These photos aren't too bad. One thing I'd like to point out is the quality or clearness. I'd like to see more of your work and try to help. For the last few photos though, you need more of a focus. Nothing specific is really being focused on. In some photos, it looks good, but also since these aren't as clear. But in my opinion, your photos are nice :]
First I love it I mean, I like how the grass is dark and the sky is contrasted by being so light and all. I even think it'll make a good wallpaper or something.
second I like the close up and the texture but I think the picture itself is a little too blurred, making it difficult to see. When doing close-ups I think it's best to make your main shot as crystal clear as possible.
Third I don't really like this one. It's just a bunch of grass covering some rocks or something. In my opinion, there's really nothing special to it.
Fourth I think I would have liked this one better if there wasn't a gray background. Maybe another bright color, or even a darker one. Gray is just in between and doesn't make the yellow flower pop as much as I would have liked.
Fifth & Sixth I like the second purple flower a lot better because it's like different I don't think I've ever seen one of those in my life, haha.
Seventh, eighth, ninth & tenth I like the realism of these pictures and I love the place where you took them. It seems to have a lot of character and might even make a great scene in a Novel or could even be a subject in a poem. Anyways, some of the pictures were blurred and the sunlight made it all sort of monotone-ish, with the yellow and all. Maybe it was the camera you were using. Overall, they were great shots Cheers!

Thanks, guys! And as for the last pics...totally understand about the whole no focus thing! But yaah, thanks for the comments!! x)

I absolutely LOVE the first picture, it's a simple kind of beauty that's really just fascinating. I also love the close ups of the flowers, but I think that you should try to edit them so that the focus is more on the flower with a faded background. Maybe even darken the tone of the background a bit?
As for the last three pictures, I just think they looked kind of messy with the foliage everywhere. It might've done the areas you chose more justice if you were to do a close-up on certain parts of those areas.
Great job, keep snappin' pics! -Once

Okay.. so I'm just going to critique this as one thing. The first picture was wonderful... great contrast and lines. Great focus too. The rest would have been a lot better if they had been focused all the way.. I also think that some playing with the color and exposure could be good for them.
Sorry if it comes across as harsh.. I think that you have a good eye, and have a lot of potential. Just make sure that the photos are focused.
