Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you. It's just that the all in all in photography is the subject. We amateurs are actually very lucky in this aspect. We get to freely choose our subjects. All the professionals get to choose is the gig they take and that pretty much determines the subject. You can't be too picky either if you want to put food on the table.
Out of your latest batch the first one with the ceiling lamp with fluorescent bulbs was probably the most interesting. The difference in the color makes for a nice effect. Composition didn't really work for me though and there's really no story in the picture.
The second one's, with what I only assume is some kind of garden lamp, problem is the contrast. It's really hard to make out what's going on.
The third with the blooming tree is in terms of subject okay. There's just quite much going on in it, the lighting wasn't really flattering and the one bright light in the bottom part of it is very distracting.
The fourth is processed beyond recognition. I can't really tell whether it's drawn, generated or photographed.
The pencil sharpener pictures then again don't really work for me at all. If it would have been an exercise in product photography then maybe, but as is there's just nothing of interest for me there. However you have makings of an interesting by combining the subject and location from two of the photos. If you'd take the pencil sharpener and put it in the yard or garden where you shot some of those other photos and would go easy enough with the effects so one can tell what's going on that would actually make a interesting photo.
Mundane inanimate objects make very difficult subjects. The easiest way to make them interesting is to create a juxtaposition between the subject and the surroundings, simply taking them into an environment that's alien to them.
Anyway. Keep your camera with you. You'll find that you're swimming in the ocean of photographic subjects. All it takes is a bit of effort to find them. Then when you have your photo, go easy on the effects. They should enhance the message you want to convey with the photo not distract from it.
