I've bought my Fuji s5200 last week. Here some of my first pictures
the No Way Out picture is ok but stupid because everyone knows it's a ramp going wrong way. As a pic, it's pretty good though.
I don't like your old pics.
The first one is ok but pretty generic, second one I like I think it's good, third one is framed kind of lame (hey you wanted critique!), and the fourth one I can't decide, OTOH I think it's pretty good but something rubs me the wrong way, but I'd say it's pretty good just to be on the positive side with your low self esteem

The flower photo lacks a focal point, imho.
I like the stairs, some nice textures, good composition. It would be interesting to see it as a print, to see whether you can get some strong rich black tones.
The one with the telephone poles is good for the same reasons, good textures, the black of the traffic light creates a good focal point without being too dominate.
I think the girl in the hat is the best. That and the angel one have strong context. Although I have to ask... why did you choose to focus on the angel rather than the Virgin Mary?
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
Why did I focus on the angel rather than Virgin Mary?
In reality the angel is not bigger than ~6inch... So it was so small and so beautifull and in marble. I wanted to do something with the angel, I wanted to focus on the angel.
If I have time this week, I'll return to the church and I'll see how different I can make this photo. The photo is even not clearly focused on the angel, I need some practice with my digital camera.
It was taken in ISO400 at around 1/6sec exposure time with 10.2mm focal lenght(zoom at around 8x). The camera was hold tight in my hand, but the photo need some sharpening.
The women beauty, is the first step toward joy and grace.
Anyway , I love to make picture of women. The skin of women capture light in a very special way. Specially at the dawn! They were created to inspire us.
And like Goethe writed:"The eternal feminine attracts us to the highest."

Ironic. That's the one I liked the best. The light filtering through the flowers makes them look very etherical.
As a traditionalist, I would have liked to have seen a lot more light on the ladies' faces...and of course a lot fewer clothes. (I may not know a lot about art, but I know what I like )
For black and white pictures you need more interplay of shadows and light. For example, the stair one would be much better if one end is dark. IOW, either it goes up into darkness, or it descends into darkness.
Do you like Ansel Adams?
