Feedback on these photos?

I have no problem with harsh comments, in fact I encourage them because they really help me with my future work, but before you do comment just know some backround about my experience. I have only taken one photography course and have been saving for a good beginner nikon camera for about two years. I plan to get one next weekend, but for now I have been using my moms camera which is kindof like a hybrid between the nice nikon I plan to get and a point and shoot. I do understand most of the basic rules of photography but I'm only a beginner and am learning as I go. I would really like your feedback on what you think i can improve on and if you have a flickr go ahead and comment or favorite one of my photos! Thanks- please help I only am looking to get better.

Your strength would be in this picture:

You have some potential.keep practicing and you will get better.

First of all, those are a lot of photos haha
second of all, i'm also a beginner currently taking my first course in photography (a color photography course)
and i think your pictures look very amateur. Which i understand you are. And i'm practically telling you what my photography teacher told the whole class one frusterating day: pay attention to everything.
i know it can be hard when you are trying to take many photographs but if you pretended you had a film camera with only 24 or 36 exposures, wouldn't you think twice about taking just any photo? We actually do use film cameras in my class but i know it's not cheap to get a negative scanner and all that software to put the photos on your computer. So I would recommend you learn to pay attention to every edge of your picture, crop when you take the photograph, don't go to photoshop or whatever and crop it.also, from looking at your all of your photos i don't see a certain style or… Anything. I see pictures of girls dancing, construction work, dogs, monkeys (although cute), doesn't really say a lot about what you are trying to get across with your photography.
i honestly do not know how flickr works so i don't know if you can sort these photographs into folders? Sort portraits, animal portraits, lanscapes, black and white.anything. And also, i would recommend you think about what you want to get out of your photography. Do you want to document your daily life? Do you want to look at people or animals in a unique perspective?
you should study photographs and photographers too in order to discover all of the things you can do with photography.
i hope i helped, good luck:-)

PS I also loved the picture that Tyler A. Mentions, did you photoshop it at all? I have a photograph myself that looks a lot like that:-)

The quality of the camera isn't an issue, one of your best pictures I saw on there was taken with a camera phone. What seems to be the problem I see is a lack of composition, follow the basic guidlines like the rule of thirds, remember to have Balancing Elements in your pictures… Take a look at this, I keep it bookmarked…
