Okay… You have an eclectic mix of things for me to comment on here.
Starting from the top with picture one, this genre is more of an environmental portrait having more of a narrative intent because of the action of your subject and his placement in the night urban environment. I like this one very much. Shooting at night is more of a challenge but this one worked out well.
The next one down shows a few technical flaws. The shot is soft probably due to moving the camera with a slower shutter speed the lighting is difficult as well.
I like the framing and posing on picture number three… I would bring slightly more light into her face as that is the focal point. Notice that it's far more difficult to work with people than inanimate objects.
Number four could be sharper.
So now we get into some random images… The macro shot of the snail is interesting it does seem that the flash is on and creating frontal flat lighting which weakens it a bit. Otherwise it's it's a good shot. In number six, I like the repetition of the green bars… I might raise the contrast a little bit by dialing up the shadow side of the histogram in levels.
Nice radial design of the palm tree… The flash seems to have gone off as the light on the trunk of the tree is very flat. Since this is backlit from the sky it's appropriate to have kicked in light from the front.
I like the flat graphic space and the framing and the sense of scale between the rooster and your subject walking out of the frame. It could be a little sharper by using the faster shutter speed… And I would also rotate the image a little to the left in order to get the bricks perfectly parallel with the bottom edge of the frame and raise the contrast and saturation just a little bit.
Number nine is almost sharp probably for the same reason is the last one… A faster shutter speed would freeze the action better. Looks like it was shot through a window of a car while moving. You need at least a 1/250 of the second if not more to freeze this kind of motion.
I like the dappled light on image number 10. I might straighten it out also… When you're photographing this kind of subject it's very worthwhile to take the time to put the back of the camera parallel to the flat surface your photographing…
Number 11 is not quite sharp… A faster shutter speed is indicated to pull this one off.
The reflections in the water are lovely on number 12 as well as the way you framed the geese.
