I like the bird bath and flower the best. My least favorite is the
winter scene. Seems like you have an eye for photography.

I think he feels comfortable here. Wouldn’t you ask some one you were
familiar with for advice first?
By the way I thought they were good....Mike

Yeah you are right - I was being helpful and flippant at same time.
But if you want impartial advice post them to a photography group, where
they don't know you and will be judging the photos alone.

A couple of quick comments and something to think about for the future.
Please bear in mind that these are only my views and if I criticise
something that you have done on purpose and you like your way better,
that's just fine.
In general the pics are pretty good for a beginner photographer - you
seem to have a natural eye for composition.
Pic one:
A hard flower to shoot. The shots easily become cluttered as there is so
much going on and not really anything that you'd naturally focus on. Top
tip - before pressing the shutter, look around the whole viewfinder and
make sure everything you want in the photo is in the picture and that
nothing you don't want isn't. The flowery bits on the bottom right
distract me a bit.
Pic two:
Much nicer. The flower is in a nice place in the frame. You have not
made the beginner mistake of putting it in the middle, like many
beginning photographers would. Also the edges of the birdbath create
nice lines for your eye to follow and kind of lead you to the flower.
The leaf in the top left corner steals some focus, so if this was my
shot and I'd be doing some post-processing, I'd remove or darken that.
Pic three:
I like the colours and the composition. Here the flower isn't in the
middle because of a beginner's mistake, but because the symmetry makes
the shot more interesting. On a minus side, you have cut off some of the
flower at the bottom and I would have liked to see all of it.
Pic four:
Again, nice composition. The shuttlecock isn't in the middle, but rather
it opens up into the picture. Having it face the other way would make it
look more dynamic as it would be "going" in our reading direction. We
read pictures from left to right, just like we read text.
Pic five:
What this picture lacks in a clear focal point, it makes up in mood. It
almost looks like a black and white shot that has been toned a bit.
OK, so these quick comments turned into ramblings, but there you go.
Well done. A very nice start. Now take a hundred photos and show us the
five best ones. I bet you the selection process will help your
photographic thinking a lot.
