After a brief glance, you've got some stuff in there thats quite good! :D

Although I'll give some advice that I give most of my other fellow teen photographers.

This has become a really popular trend. Don't -PLEASE DON'T- Blast up the saturation on your photographs. Anyone who knows even the least bit of photography can tell when you do it the wrong way. A little enhancement is fine, but otherwise when you blast out the color you lose essential detail!
 
overall they are very good photos (i like the bee) but when you take the photos try to get as many angles as you can, you can never take enough photos until you get the perfect one =]
 
Good work, good composition, good subjects. Keep it up. I disagree with the comment on using different angles. That has become a Myspace cliche and it definitely shouldn't be overdone when photographing people. The angle can completely change the message of the photo.

A regular angle puts you on the same level as the subject. When photographing nature, it makes you a part of it. Sometimes there may be another message, such as photographing trees close up from below, to give the impression of height. Sometimes the subject just looks better from a different angle, just don't overdo it.

Changing the angle doesn't automatically make it art.
