You can add your images to your post and it makes it easier to see them. Right click your images in flickr and copy the address (highlight and press "Control+C" to copy it).
Look at the yellow landscape icon when you are in the reply mode and it says "insert image". Click that and paste (Control-V) in the address to this bar. Delete the letters after the jpg tag at the end so it reads

Hit ok and your image will appear.......like this..... ( I can remove if you don't want this here)
Some people can't be bothered searching to find your images (usually I don't look unless the image is posted).
Anyway
first image (above) is a cracking image of the girl and the colours are great however I feel the large bright leaf is fighting with the girl to be the main subject. there's also a bright branch leading onto the girls shoulder which isn't pretty although some decent cloning and that could easily be removed.
I like No2. Great angle, nice colour but it would have been better to get the whole of the child in the image.
No3 - Nice depth of field here but I'm not sure that the eyes are sharp? The camera looks to have focussed on the hand and because the dof is very narrow the rest of the face is out of focus. Use only one focus point and make sure it's on the eyes.
No4 - To be honest it looks like just a typical candid shot taken at the zoo. Doesn't really work for me.
No5 - Nice colour and looks pretty sharp but other than that it doesn't do much for me. Another typical zoo type shot (I take these too you know)
For first shots they are pretty good though. You can only get better. read lots about composition and the "rule of thirds".
Lets see more
