Some new photography from the vicinity of my village. Enjoy
Out of the following 4 photos one used HDR, another curves extensively and the other just had a nifty effect added. Guess which .

I prefered the last time I tried this type of shot with just a thorny branch bush, the compositions looks worse now, somehow... Maybe framing differently and catching the end of the branch in-frame.

Very nice, what's your equipment?
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Of these, I think the best is probably the closeup of the orange. The exposure looks pretty good to me, and the colors and composition work. I'd crop it just a bit, though: from the version you posted here, I took thirty-one pixels off the top to take care of that other orange just peeking in, and then 166 pixels off of the left side to get rid of some empty space and balance it out again, thus:
This puts the orange on the vertical 2/3 line of the photo (and just about on the middle 50% horizontal), and divides the picture evenly along a diagonal: foliage on one side, sky on the other. This way the leaves that point to the lower left help lead the eye into the frame instead of away from the main diagonal as well. The shadowed leaves in the background do a bit to steal attention from the orange, but that can't be helped.
The next-best, I think, is the photo of the bee on the yellow flowers, but it wants a much closer crop around that bunch of flowers the bee is on, and whatever effect made that outline...well, I don't see what that was meant to accomplish, but it is pretty distracting. I'll call this one a "could have been."
