Exposure of the Dead

looks to be a Joey Lawrence shot - am I right? If not mistaken - big brother.

Outhouse

An interesting capture in my opinion, but has some technical flaws.
The sky coming through the trees appears blown out, as does the area behind the fence and tree. The stones at the base of the outhouse are also too strongly lit.
Dead center is not the best composition, but works here due to the wooden fence and tree. I like the amount of foreground you left here - it gives it a feeling of depth. You may want to consider cropping more of the top off for your own save of this image. If for no other reason but to correct the white edge from your rotated crop in the upper right corner.

The subject itself is not highly interesting. When shooting a still object that does not have an excitement about it, correct exposure and post-processing is a must. The highlights in this image are blown out. Preferrably, the exposure would be corrected before the shot, but when it happens after the fact, you need to use the burn tool to attempt to remedy the problem areas. Another possibility would have been to convert the image to a sepia tone or B&W. The nail could have been used to your advantage by extra fill light or by post-process dodging.

Wooden Beauty

Interesting sculpture shot, although the focus seemed a bit soft to me.
DOF perhaps a bit narrow. The lighting was fairly good, although there is a bit too much lighting bouncing off the forehaed of the statue. Might try using an umbrella, or bouncing the flash off the ceiling if you repeat this shot.
The white background was not the best choice here. You might consider a sand colored background instead.

What an excellent shot! Your compostion is strong, exposure well done, and DOF is great. Only improvement I could see would be to have the rail board not so bright, and demonstrate more of the texture in it.

As you probably will agree, there is a major distraction happening here by the lighting glaring off the metal, and causing the erasers to be too brightly lit. This can be caused by too strong direct lighting hitting the ends on the right here. Might try bouncing the flash off the ceiling or an umbrella to prevent the glare.
This might sound petty, but the "2" on each pencil should be kept in the same orientation on each pencil for better impact - jmho.
Another idea you might toy with is perspective cropping to give a more unique angle to the image.

Hope you find this helpful,

Fur

the black background does not work well here as the fur is so dark. Nice idea though
