You have met the challenge topically, but I don't see any other reason to be interested in this image.

My Branch!

Nice bird picture. The under-exposure loses much of the interesting detail in the feathers. It would be nice to see a bit of light in the eye--as it is, the tip of the beak draws attention and then the eye hunts for something more to interest it...

Meandering Youth

The tendril is an interesting choice for this challenge, I just wish I could see the vine it came from--regardless, it doesn't fit the challenge well, in my opinion. Though you have chosen to limit the depth of field, a blurrier background could add more drama. The highlights are a bit blown out as well.

I feel this already enigmatic photo suffers from odd choices made in post-processing. The sky has become quite oddly pink and the blue fringing attracts attention. These color shifts could add interest to an already strong photo with a well-defined subject, just not this one.

flower in the beach

Pretty flower. I don't think I've ever seen one among the sea-grapes--must not be there at the right time of year. I think your composition is a bit cluttered--the brown wood on the beach and the twigs in the background don't really add to the image--and worse, they seem to be the only thing connecting this image to the challenge topic. Sorry, just the way I see it.

Lizard

Comment:
This image is lacking in technique. The constrast is rather shallow. The far branch competes with, rather than compliments, the head of the lizard.
As for the challenge topic...your title says it. This is a lizard on a branch, not a branch with a lizard on it.

Sorry, but these flowers look unappealingly, long dead. I'm not feeling the nostalgia here.

Looks a bit oversharpened--the edges of many of the feathers and the highlights on the bill are jaggy. And, what was the subject, again?

New Branches from nothing

Comment:
Is it branch or weed among the uninteresting mulch?
The angle is odd--seems like the ground is tipped unnaturally.
A bit over-bright, as well--seems like a levels adjustment could have helped.

Sorry, but tilted horizons without good reason just bother me--they steal any merit the composition might otherwise have had. Highlights are a bit blown as well. These are most likely post-processing choices that could be remedied.
