Other than the HDR none of these have had any PP done.

Some really nice work there! My main compositional note would be that you seem to like the centre of the frame - try offsetting a little more and see how you like the results. And with the flower shot, you might wanna crop out the distracting slice of blue window frame at the top.

Also, on the HDR one, I might have tried moving around a little to place the column more strikingly in the relation to the gap in the nicely dramatic sky.

Very nice pictures, colorful. I think Bailey is right, your shots seems mainly composed in the middle of the frame. I would have shot the number 3 in portrait instead of landscape.

I love that 1st shot! Lovely DOF and exposure considering you have the bright sky behind your subject like that.
Nice 'out of the can' (no PP) work too!

First is great, I like a lot. i've tried many a time to get something like that and failed every time.

I could leave the rest though.

2. Lighting is 'funny' and sky is a bit messed up. Byproduct of HDR perhaps?

3. Nice DOF but it's just a bee on a flower and you need to do something extra to make it worth noting. I'm not trying to be dickish, but I could take the same photo (and have when I had nothing better to take) without really having to think at all.

4. Just no

Yeah the sky is messed up, this was before I learned about auto bracketing, so I was adjusting the shutter between each pic while trying not to move the camera, so by the time I was ready for the next shot the wind had moved the clouds lol

Ahh I see now - it kind of looked like polarisation of the colours at first. I will note that for an HDR is does look nice and natural :) (I hate the 'other' kind of HDR)
