Since you've been asking for critique, I'll tell you I agree with jadecat9 regarding which are your best shots, though your closeups are awesome, too.
I have one complaint with your landscapes, which is why I, personally, wouldn't purchase a large print of one (though I would purchase a large print of your closeup shots). They aren't clear enough. For example, pics 3 and 8 would be absolutely spectacular IF the trees in 3 were CRYSTAL clear, perfectly in focus. Then, they wouldn't appear to be a frame. They would be the subject matter. In pic 8, the foxtails need to be crystal clear. Many of your landscapes appear just a touch out of focus, or there is no 1 main focal point that is in focus.
Granted, I know nothing about photography, so I couldn't even begin to give you tips about how to fix it, and maybe it's purely a matter of preference and I'm not one you should take advice from, but I'm an admirer of good photography (at least, I think it's good!), and that's what I'd like to see. :-)
