The first two look abstract due to the (lack of) focus. Possibly my reaction to them is because I was expecting a non-abstract. The second one, at least, is interesting to me- the first one I don't Get very well.
Nos. 3 and 4 are wow. It looks like metal wire - almost like barbed wire - and dead leaves, and that's a strongly suggestive combo. Good composition, also.
#5 and #6 have more colour and the metal is perhaps a bit more like a necklace and not completley like a prison thing, but - still very strong images.
These four, they're... you're usually more documentary/figurative. These four can be read as purely artistic photography: I read them as being about death and estrangement and femininity and beauty and age. If you arrange these four together, as a four-panel work, and keep "Potted Plant" as a title? It Works.
