Bearing in mind you'll never please everyone, you want a critique? You asked for it...
"Twins" - Text on photo.. not something I like. The photo itself is pretty good. Well executed, and sharp... but that's it.
"In flight" - Text on photo... distracting. The left-hand edge is a bit too near the fly/bee/whatever, so its wing is clipped. Give the subject some space, but don't loose it in a sea of... green/blue/pink-with-yellow-dots.
"Self portrait" (the close-up one) - Text on... etc. Catchlight in the eyes shows there's life there. Smile though! Laugh even. Everyones done the moody-**** b+w self-portrait... do something different. Keep it clean though.
"Self portrait" (4 of 4) - Text... please reposition or remove... I'm not really a fan of looking at men below the belt, yet the text has my attention. Overall, again, smile or laugh. You've got the catchlights ok, but an expression would add to them.
"Pakenham watermill" - Text... although not as bad this time... but the fencing mentally blocks us from going further into the photo. Are the buildings on the 'wonk', or is it the fence?
"Old forge trailer" - A moody shot, the b+w adds to this feeling. I'd crop the top-half out, to make it letterbox style, but this also removes a bit of the textured wall. Hmm... a tough call.
"Poisonous frog" - Your first publication? Congratulations. Erm... I hope there wasn't that text..?! There's enough surroundings left in the photo to show the frogs habitat. The frog itself, its eye is sharp, there's texture in its skin. Yep, I can see why you had this publicated.
