What do you think of my pictures? Do I have talent or do I suck? How can I improve and what do I keep doing? And I know they're not artistic, it's more photo journalism, but that's what I want to do...

And these two, believe it or not I HAVE NOT edited, it's just how my camera took it, and he really was that vibrant

With the dog's nose out of focus, I was just experimenting, mainly focusing on the eyes.
Thanks, lol, I'm only 15. I'm using a Nikon D40 DSLR.
yes, lol I'm aussie, she's a heeler crossed with a jack russel and only 5 months old, loves to pose for the camera
 
I know basically squat about photography, but they look good to me. Very vibrant and colorful. They're a heck of a lot better than what I could do.
 
Your bird images are great but could be improved by better cropping on #7 and watching blown out backgrounds on #6. That flowers focus is really too soft and the dogs nose is too soft on # 5, but 1 & 4 are excellent.

So yes, you have talent, but it does need to be developed a bit more.
 
You must be Australian =) I love the pictures of the little blue heeler. I think these are the strongest in your set. I like the way you've framed your shots but if you can i'd give it a bit more contrast.

The Kookaburra is good but maybe next time try different way s of cropping the image, possibly just taking a close up of certain features.

The coloured rose is stronger than your black and white because you've lost some detail in converting it. The petals need to have more contrast. If you've got photoshop you can burn in the details with a soft edged brush (using the dodge and burn tool)

As for your rosella pictures, they look good to but I think your fill in flash could benefit from being a little bit more subtle.

Overall you've done a great job.
