Hi CW.
The Lily is pretty nice. It could have used the help of a reflector or flash to open up the shadows but still not bad. The background is a bit busy with all the stems and unopened flowers. When you are looking for a good flower to shoot, keep the background in mind as you look through the view finder.
The 2nd one is pretty nice as well. You over exposed just a tad, washing out the colors a bit. The sky is a bit dull, but it looks like you didn't have a lot to work with there.
Number 3 doesn't really do anything for me. Not a lot of interest there.
Number 4, the 2nd flower is pretty darn good. You don't have a shadow, the background is pretty much a solid green and it has nice color. It looks like you got some even shade to shoot that one in.
Number 5 and 6, the two waterfalls are a tad over exposed. Your white water is almost blow out (that might be from compressing for the screen too) but you did a good job with them. Maybe next time try slowing the shutter speed down another second if you can keep from over exposing it. A neutral density filter or polorizer is good for waterfall shots like this. Let lets you slow the shutter speed down a bit more to get the smooth flow of water. I like a polorizer because it also brings out colors more, even with flowers.
Your last image doesn't really do anything for me there either.
Over all, I think you got some good shots and deffinately better than average.
