Been doing the photography thing since a kid. The daisy shot with the outward 'reaching' perspective is vivid and gives much awe and 'wow' to the eye and senses. Great shot.....that is why we take pictures- !!!!!

Well, of the two yellow flowers (Black Eyed Susan?), I like the firts better than the second. It's virtually the same image, except for the way the shadows fall. In the second one, the shadow basically splits the image in two making a dark band across the center of the flower. It looks like one of those universal "NO" signs. I think either one would be improved by controlling the lighting better. You could use the on-board flash, probably in the "fill flash" mode. Being that close, the flash tends to wash out the subject, so you could also set the exposure to a negative EV, like EV(-0.7), to prevent that. I'll grant that they are nicely in focus. Perhaps that's what you did with the image of Lori. I would expect a dark shadow across her face from that branch that's just above her. It's interesting how the branch has the same colors as she does.
I like the rose photo which would have been ruined by flash.
My favorite of the bunch is the "Daisy Sky" image and not necessarily because it's in black and white, either. I just like the worm's eye view and the composition in general. This is one time when a tilted horizon works very well.
As part of an argument that it's the camera and not the photographer, I have posted a few images made by the very same camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/tags/4600/
What's with the pirate's flag on Flickr?

The two black-eyed Susan are ho-hum in terms of technique. lighting, and composition. The kitty is cute, but has large areas of blown highlights on the left side and at her ear, The pink rose is very nice, good delicate color and seems sharp. I like the daisy image the best. The tilt makes it dynamic and the perspective is interesting. I might work it just a tiny bit more on curves, but it is nice the way it is.
Overall, not bad. You might want to get a book, "Understanding Exposure", by Bryan Peterson. It will help you see light in a different way. Best regards!
EDIT: Dr Sam, today is talk like a pirate day. I don't know why. Aaaarrrgggghhhhhhhh.
