As far as the shots go, I like the first two 'gator ones.
The rest though, don't seem like a whole lot of thought was put into the composition. Things like the cropped bottom bracket on the bike, ear and tail of the cat, roof of the model car, etc. all end up being distracting to the viewer, since they lead the eye out of the frame. Composition is by FAR the most difficult aspect of photography, and I often get extremely lazy with it myself.
Before you click the shutter button, stop, look at the entire scene, and ask yourself, "Can I do anything to improve this shot? Is there something distracting in the background that can be eliminated by moving slightly (left, right, up, down), and is this the most flattering angle of the subject?"
You appear to have a pretty good grasp of exposure so the first of these links might be some of what you already know, but it's still extremely good. The second though, is an excellent write up that I should honestly review myself.

I added you as a contact on Flickr, by the way.
