Oi, nice colours. And lighting -- if not a bit too harsh towards teh leftmost grapes.

The Great Expectation

Oi, nice. The cloth (tulle?) adds a lot to the composition.

Masquerade

Comment:
Oi, ten points for the creepy mask. Yeah.

Queen of the Laundry Pile

Comment:
CTPII, yeah.
Oi, you broke the 6 barrier. Good for you!
You met the challenge head-on and finished with aplomb. The subject you chose (yeah, you) tugged at a lot of "I can relate" strings and probably gave you that high score.
Your technicals and color handling is improving (a lot) and a bit more PP skillz and you're good to go.
Congrats on your PB.

Seattle Temple

Comment:
Oi! from the CPT MkII.
Wow, can't think of anything to say...
I like the architecture of the building. It's "clean" and "modern" and all that. Composition's okay. Could be better, could be worse, but definitely on the good side.
Bump up the contrast, shift the sky's hue to a bluer hue, ease up on the sharpening, and I guess we'll have ourselves a postcard. Yeah, and a little recomposition, I guess.

Driving People Crazy

CTP II, yeah.
Heh, your subject's a dork.;-p
Not movie poster material, though. It's more along the lines of propaganda material.;-p
Not really against the faked motion blur, just control and tighten that selection. The sloppy application of blur doesn't do your photo wonders.
Hey, at least it's not a snapshot anymore. Yeah.

St. James arriving to the temple

CPT MkII, clocking in.
Not very familiar with religious establishments but if I see correctly, you wish to give the impression that the two statues, had they not been inanimate, have travelled faaaaaar and away and have arrived at this particular edifice, is that about right?
LOL, if it is. Droll humour, yeah. The lighting's a bit flat, though, innit? Also, the whole thing lacks punch. A different angle, perhaps, or recomposition? Whatever man, it's an okay photo all in all.

Daddy and son visiting London

Oi! from the CTP MkII. I shall not be going with the usual format as it feels cold and impersonal, IMO.
The shot's mildly amusing, in a british sort of way. Subject abounds with dry humour, and for just that I believe it should've placed higher. Yeah.
I guess there should be more lenscaps and less London, though. I mean, father and son and just Big Ben on the bg would've maaade your shot.
Congrats on integrating "cute" and "London" in one photo. Yeah.

First Impression: A snapshot. Snapshots don't do well, IMO. Forgot to set the WB? It's a bit too blue for my tastes. 4... sorry.
Composition: Comp's okay, if not a bit too bland. If it's not a snapshot, it looks a lot like one. Crop's a bit too tight. 5.
Subject: Cute kid, nice face. I have nothing against kiddie shots, done properly. 6.
Technical: Lighting and white balance. This tanked your shot, a lot. Nothing a little PP won't fix, though. It's nice to see you pulled up to 620px.

Sorry, couldn't help but look at other people's comments to see what's been said and what's not.
Whatever I have to say has already been said. And I'd have to agree with Gunnsi as his crits echo mine, word for word (minus the "I love sunsets" thing ;p).
All I could add, I guess, is that try using levels or brightness contrast to cut through that muddy look.
