OK, I'll take a stab at it.
Pic 1: I like the rock in the grass, but the focus isn't right. Does it look a blurry to anyone else?
Pic 2 and 3: Both nice, I like the angle with the branch. Try a fill flash next time for fun.
Pic 4: I see what you were going for but it's a tough subject. The angle makes it very interesting but it needs to be centered.
Pic 5: My favorite. I like the low angle and DOF you got in that pic.
Pic 6: I like the angles and composition but the focus should be on the zebra not on the structure in the back.
Pic 7: Hard to say a lot about that one. Can't tell where the focus is.
All in all I would say excellent work! It's fun to to try new things and see what happens.

) that mentioned how it's good to have an area of interest in the fore, middle and background for landscape shots in particular...it reminded me of your ladder shot even though that's not really a landscape i was thinking how with the extraneous stuff like the hoop removed , i wonder what something interesting in the foreground would do for the photo. the example they gave was how much more interesting a shot of a rocky beach and mountain looked with a little bit of the rocky place they were standing on in the foreground, then the rocks and mountain both slightly off centered, the mount. not really dead on the top intersection of the rule of thirds but close... they also mentioned how they walk around the area for a good 1/2 hr before taking the actual shot to just scope it out. course with digital you aren't wasting film but it made me think about moving to the left or right just to see how different a tiny change in perspective would be. if my brain remembers I'll try to post the article.
