Dirt, although pets are a no go for this competition the cat with the iris-hat is very sweet.
The backlit flower has excellent light and pleasing composition.
I will note the iris pic as your final entry. I know it is hard to select pictures, to my mind it is a sort of self critique, so I think that selecting pics will help every photographer become more aware of what they like in their own pics and what they need to work more with.
