Bum shots generally do not hold people's interest. #5 - nice composition, sharp, but a bit too contrasty and harsh to my eyes.

Your macro shots have improved a fair bit since the last time I was on IIS and that's always a welcome thing to see.

edit: I re-worked #1 to be more pleasing compositional imho but didn't post it up here as I didn't want to infringe on your copyright without your permission. Let me know if it's OK to post my edited version of your shot.
I forgot to mention.... I absolutely agree with you on #2,3,4 and 5. Good observations mate.
