This is what I think take it or leave it!

#1 I like the flower but some of it is dead that doesnt look to good.
#2 Background is to busy. Its hard to tell what is the flower.
#3 Same as #2
#4 Is the best of the group IMO
#5 Could be a little sharper but I like it!

You are off to a good start keep it up

Thanks for posting flowers! My favorite subject.
I echo all of Eli's comments and add to #5 the red overexposed on you. Red is a tough color expecially when the background is dark. Use spot metering if your camera has it or get up close and just meter the red, set the exposure in manual and then recompose and shoot. Try ro have a subject in mind. #2 & 3 are lacking a central subject to grab your attention. Sometimes it is hard to see everything while shooting. Just practice a lot and review the images.
