Heres some critique for you.

In my opinion, freeway 3 is my favoirite out of the freeway pics. The compisition is off but I like the colors and quality of it better. I think I might like this photo better if you had the light posts dead in the center.

Freeway 4 is interesting but its common to see the squiggly lights. You have good intentions though and I think you have good potential.

I am a huge fan of macro photography so I could really help you with this.
I think the lighting on your flowers could have been better however the flowers are pretty. The composition should be looked in to more carefully as well. On the first flower shot, the bottom petal is cut off. Its a good picture though.

I really fucking like your spoon picture but I would crop the hand out. Id like it if the spoon was centered since its black and it grabs your eyes first but the splash would be cut off.

Nice work Erickson!

Post more pics in the future. Im a huge photodork.

Story behind Freeway 3:
It was the last picture I took and I was really scared cause I felt like a cop was watching me and it was illegal to stand there. So I just took a shot and didnt center the camera in the lights of the freeway but I kinda like what I got cause I got the moon on the background.

The other freeway pics wouldve been good but I didnt check my f-stop settings. The last freeway pic was just a practice shot and I dropped the shutter speed at 8sec but I moved so it kinda blurred.

I am a huge fan of macro photography too. I myslef is trying to save money for a 500 dollars macro lenses. The story behind the flowers is that I just took them with out looking at the LCD. It was just for fun and didnt care what I got. I didnt care about the lighting too, the cameras flash was gay.

Story behind the spood/water.
I wouldve cropped the finger but I dont want to loose the right top corner. I like freezing water and I think I am going to play more with water tomorrow.

About the water - I realise that you wouldnt want to lose the corners because thats where the splash is most effective. I would hold your camera farther back or hold the very very tip of the spoon rather. Do both lol.

The thing about flower pictures is everyone takes them. Every photographer has taken a flower picture. Theyre very postcardy/cliche. Lol... do you agree?

You have to risk your life and break the law for photography. I learned this from Chris Schneider, hes a proffesional photographer that taught me at cranbrook over the summer.
