Background seems a bit to busy, and the orchids lack detail.
7/10

At least a 9/10. Typically, I save a 10 for gorgeous landscapes or portraits because they are more complex to deal with. But I can't actually say there's any way your shot could be improved on, whether detail or composition. Is that a real leaf you shot, or a photo of a representation? Because the detail is really intricate, almost more than I would expect from a living leaf.

Here's from a sunny day last weekend.

That's a decent shot in what looks like strong light. Perhaps a little more room on the bottom, but quite nice all the same. 8/10

Clothes pins on a wire. 6/10. A bit too much grain and less focus for my taste.

Here is some more shallow DOF

Pug... I wish the eyes were in focus. I find any living animal needs the eyes in focus even if the nose and rest are blown oof. Cute pup! :)

Ill give this photo a 6.5
The buildings in the back look like they're a part of the sky. Give a little color to the building. The snow right below the bench is a little bit distracting due to the fact there is no other place in the photo where there is snow. (If that is even snow) It could also use a bit of dodging on the chair as the blacks are blown out. Other than that its a good photo.

After minor edits.

got to to with the original on this, except I'd give it a 5/10 it's sharper on the leading clothsline, but it's a closeline still kinda grainy, and sorry but of little intrest overall...

8/10 I think this works well for its genra. Like the colors. I took a similar pose with Matt Scannell lead singer of Vertical Horizon.

7/10 Could have been framed better, the guitar could come a bit into the frame, lot of empty space over head.
