Please critique my foliage

[Bear]

After posting a few times and not making it easy enough for viewers to critique I have come to these. These are some recent foliage pics from a few days ago, shortly after becoming serious about my photography. Please any suggestions, tips, critiques, etc. are welcome!

Hopefully what was missing from my past posts, the lower number of pics, centralization of subject, and number will help you help me

The camera is a Canon PowerShot SD550 (P&S)

Thanks in advance.

Great colors! The left side of the first one seems a little dark though...

Pity about the cropped petals in Photos 2 and 7, it would have been nice to have ALL of the flower within the frame. Other than that I really like these, they sport a lot of green, and that fact easily wins me over . Everyone here knows that!

Also the sunlight is too bright on the petals in the last photo.

Photo 6 (very good one, easily the best of the series!) shows that it is easier to photograph flowers in the shadow or on overcast days.

Nice shots, I think I like number four the most.

Flower shots are so common they tend to bore me a little. ()
