Woahhhhhhh 6 very different images and a lot to consider and write about all at once, but I'll have a try. Firstly you say you want feedback to help you in the future so I will try to be as straightforward as I can but these are just my feelings and opinions and don't reflect on you or your photography, just how I see these particular images today, and of course they may not be the views of everyone so take or leave the bits you find helpful. : )

1. First thing that strikes me is I love the colour a beautiful palette, you have taken it in great light to bring out the drops and a good mix with backlight. Your subject the web and drops are great contrast and great sharpness, I like the way the web leads into the central drop and the other drop placed further away to move the eye around the scene. For me it looks as if it should be a square crop as I don't see the negative space on the right as balancing anything or being necessary. It is a great idea to have a foreground out of focus and and nice plain background to keep focus on your subject but the bramble cutting across the frame does not work for me it seems to trap me either above or below it stopping a free flow around the image.

2. I like this one a lot a great surreal feeling and sense of depth. I would concentrate more on the depth and crop out a lot of the concrete at the top just leaving small stops to make it a panorama style image maybe with just 3 pillars as the main subjects. It would benefit from playing around with levels and curves to add a greater sense of depth and drama to it. I like this I would just play around with it a bit to make it suit my style and tastes.

3. Again fabulous colour and taken in a soft even light to make the most of them. The highest contrast area combines with the strongest colour and is up in the top left which for me drags and holds the attention all in the top left of the image. Not sure what the subject is: the tree which is grabbing all the attention or the bench which is placed perfectly on a power line third into the image. I get the feeling it should be the bench.

4. Spot on - terrific lines and triangles making a superb composition and all presented perfectly. I like the way the oars echo the shape made by her legs and arms and the triangles of the boats.
   Nasty mark she has got on her knee ; )

5. Great reference type shot of this little bird. Great pose and capture, could do with a little postwork just to polish the image and make the background noise disappear. I don't think it is dull at all !
   I would adjust: levels and curves to give the shot more impact and selective colours to eliminate noise and adjust the background.

6. You need to clone or paint in an eye !

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
