Let's see:
On the first one, it is a pretty flower but unfortunately the background is too close to the flower and it makes the shot busy because you don't have the nice blurry depth of field. For me, this would be why I would vote it down. The flower is beautiful and should be the focus but it really isn't.
The second shot is a nice shot but it doesn't have a "wow" factor. It is grass or weeds and that's pretty much it. Why do you think it stands out among the rest is the questions you want to ask when you submit it to a gallery.
The third shot is very nice but again doesn't jump out and grab you. It is a great shot from a set of vacation photos but for a gallery maybe find a way to make the angle different or something to make it jump.
The fourth shot I like. I think these abstracts are subjective and it really just depends who's looking. It is artisticly nice but some might wonder what it proposes to say. Again, purely subjective.
I hope this helps and doesn't sound too harsh. These are just some of my observations. I've submitted about 20 photos to the gallery and only two have been approved so far. I think its about par for the course now that Pentax is paying a lot of attention to it. Before the first week I think shots got in because people were given unfettered access and now they're judging pretty harshly so that what gets in is a cut above...
