Great camera, must've been expensive. The photos are...a little cliche if you're aiming for something artistic. On the picture of the flower/bee, the flower should be less focused on, it's taking the bee's spotlight. A different angle might have had a better outcome. And I can see your reflection in the heart charms, which is something you might want to avoid. The lone flower is lovely, perhaps you could download a photoshop program and view tutorials on how to enhance the colors to give the subject more life. I like the pearls, too. The animals are adorable, but like Allinthea said, you might want to take some more distant pictures, and perhaps find a background to liven them up. The appearance of the subject itself is relevant, but you want to strengthen and bring character to that subject. The self-portrait is kind of boring, and probably should have been taken in better lighting. The picture of your sister is very good, nice angle, but the background corresponds with her position which you might want to avoid in future portraits. And I would try to keep the portrait-ee more centered at the bottom so that the background isn't seen there.
