This really isn't a general critique forum like photosig.com.

We can critique on a specific image that you want to know how it will do within the MS Business (review or potential sales)

I don't agree that we aren't a critique forum. Most in here are happy to critique but as a few said what are we critiquing for? Are we critiquing for stock? And, as a freshman photographer, will you know the technical meaning around the kind of feedback you might receive? There are some real talented people in this forum who can provide spot on feedback but it's important to know to what kind of use the images will be used.  Your tennis ball shot, for example can be stock material. However if you meant to shoot it for stock it is best shot on a tennis court. Your composition is pretty good, leaving room for copy. But they image hygiene is poor. Buyers usually want clean images. I'd clone out the dirt on the ball, or just use a new ball as a prop. Maybe tone down the saturation of the ball a bit, give it a more natural look.  This is the kind of feedback you can get if you are intending to enter stock.  Most of your work is greenery which if you look on the micro stock sites only do well if they are spectacular and can be used in a message of some kind. But nature kind of shots are much harder to sell because the subjects are readily available and a lot of people shoot them, so the collections on stock are saturated with these kind of images. It does look like you are having fun with your camera which is #1 in importance. Learn your system, its limitations and push your limits as you gain experience. Today in stock differentiation is king. If you shoot what everyone else already has, it's very difficult to make any money.

Nature seems to be your forte so look at other nature sites to develop your art and creativity-

Here is one of your images (see below) that I see a flaw- don't have posts or trees coming out of the head. Also try to capture the entire head with horns as well.

On the business side --Nature is a very hard category to make money so you have to excel. 

Good Luck
