To take photos for Stock, you need to know what you are doing and you have to think about their commercial use.

Perhaps read these links from Adobe.

blue fish: not sharp, the composition is not great. The white balance needs correction. Reflections on the stones are disturbing. 

rare bird: the white balance needs correction, the asset is not sharp. 

tiger in wildlife: the tiger is not sharp. BTW: the tiger is not in wildlife, you see that the environment is set-up. 

The girl: is not sharp. As with all of your assets, the details are dull. The flowers are a red blob. The set-up with the girl sitting, head turned back is not appealing. You will need a model release for the girl.

 

As for the others: I suppose, they are all the same. The whole looks like a zoo visit with your girlfriend, doing snapshots with your phone camera. It does not look very commercially appealing.
