The first photo grabs my attention. I really like the colors in the photo. The second photo, I think if the bridge would have been more at an angle in the photo instead of almost straight down the middle of the photo, it would have been a little more appealing to the eye. The third photo I do not know if it is my monitor (it could be) but the flower looks out of focus to me. It is a beautiful subject, and the colors are stunning, but the flower looks out of focus. Let me know if it is my monitor though. The first photo is my favorite, because I like how it has different layers in it, for example the tree is more forward in the frame, and then the weeds,shrubs or whatever that is.... etc are in the middle, and then the mountains in the back of the photo. I really like how it is composed.

I like your photos. I think they will do well. I agree with Sue that the flower photo is OOF. In fact after looking at the exif data, it's probably a little camera shake. Your shutter was at 1/40 while using 200 mm focal length. In order to avoid camera shake try and use a shutter speed that is at least as big as your focal length. So in your case a shutter of 1/250 would have been better.

I like your ROF and Leading lines.
