Edit: I remove the similar Pictures and corrected the blown out flower, and added 2 more flowers in different ligths!!!

I'm assuming you were thinking of these for stock - in which case I wouldn't submit any of them.
For the white line pictures - and at first I thought I'd copied the URLs wrong and had multiple copies of the same shot as they were so similar - the composition's awkward and not enough is in sharp focus.
The lighting on the flower pictures is too harsh and you've blown out parts of the petals. The first two don't have enough of the shot in sharp focus. The last one doesn't appear to have anything in sharp focus, but you need to get the petals sharp for something like this. Especially for flower pictures (which are heavily oversupplied) you need to have excellent shots or they'll be rejected and these just aren't.
More practice :)

backlighting is often nicer with these, and if done with a reflector on a cloudy day will give a nice result.
I wouldn't even touch the flower category, unless I had some genius unique idea.
