First off, welcome to POTN!
Here are my humble musings:
1. Interesting concept, but I think it requires more DOF so that the flower is sharper.
2. I really like this one, but would consider cropping from the left to better conform to rule of thirds and cut out some highlights which IMO are a little distracting.
3. Good how you got down low to give a different perspective, but I don't think the darkness really works for it.
4. Too dark and the white balance seems off, not all that interesting to me.

First of all thanks a lot for your prompt and fast response.
I 've really aprreciated your feedback and I'll try to avoid uplisted "mistakes" in my future-posts.
On the 3rd photo, I have such a perspective simply because I am missing a tripod, and I had to hold the camera on the floor :). And the darkness is due to only 12 secs exposure time in full darkness.

I think the low perspective is cool, but you probably should have upped the exposure a fair bit. A little dark gives it a nice moodiness, but as is you lose a lot of detail.
I also lack a tripod, I have a cheap 6 inch tall once from wal-mart that works in some situations...i would be embarrassed to use it around other photographers though :oops:

first thing I thought was...if there's a thermometer in the flower, shouldnt the numbers be rightside up?
Last one doesn't do anything for me, sorry.
the one on the floor is pretty cool, just need more exposure. Working with light from windows and dark shadowy areas is a real challenge for photographers. A multiple exposure HDR (high dynamic range) would work better for this composition..or a flash to lighten it up.

#1) Why? What are you point are you trying to get across to the viewer? Technically it's a bit flat and even the thermometer is a tad soft.
#2) Also soft. Needs to lose the right side of the image. It's also on the boring side. Not much of anything to keep the viewers interest.
#3) Rule of thirds. Also I'd like to see a wider perspective of this. Help set the scene instead of a hoop just popping out of nowhere.
#4) Best of the bunch. Nice perspective, good DOF. I don't mind it being underexposed though if you shot in raw, maybe just see how it looks if you bump up the exposure a tad. I'd also fix the lens distortion and clone out the hot pixels.
#5) Sorry. Not much to this. Put this in the snapshot category.
Overall, good first post. Keep on shooting.

I like it a lot, but I think it would be even better if the whole leaf were in focus. Very creative thinking, that is one thing that I lack.
