Geode/crystal formation of some kind. Lighting is not so good. The whole thing needs to be quite a bit brighter, but you've already got a pretty blown out spot over there.

Crystals such as quartz or something similar. I find the bit on the bottom a bit distracting. Maybe a different crop to cut that section out.

I like the different bright colors in your entry. the trees (I think it's trees) you probably couldn't get rid of them, but they seem to be a bit distracting.

It is most likely backlighting, but theres not much in focus. Too too busy.

I thing I see what you're getting at but I'm not sure it works. The shot is a bit too dark to give the feeling of sunlight and I do think it needs at least one point of focus.

Hmmm... I really don't know where to go with this one. I can see a certain abstract quality, even modernistic bent to the image. But, there's something lacking in general appeal to me. It's not composition or balance, that seems to be there. There is backlighting. Maybe its because I try so hard to focus all the time with my bifocals. Sorry. Good luck with the other raters.
