I'd love to go back to Cuba, a fascinating place. What makes this photo interesting is the puddle of course, with the reflection of that forest of what I think is flagpoles gathered round a lone palm tree. The colors are nice and warm and suggestive of early morning. Nice shot.

It is indeed interesting, and I kind of got visually lost in it trying to figure out which way was "up". I'm still not sure I have it figured correctly. The reflections make it more confounding. Lots of geometry here. A shift in horizontal positioning in post might give you a less pronounced leftward lean.

Oh my that's a wonderful sky! I love the cloud structure and the light rays. I wouldn't crop any of that central arrangement out. If anything I'd crop a bit from left, right and bottom. But I'd be sure to keep every ray and every interesting piece of sky. The sky is truly the subject here, and the boat is just a pretend subject to have an excuse to take the picture. So make the most of it! In LR or ACR, the clarity slider used judiciously, alongside a little raised shadows/lowered highlights can go a long way to making this a real eye catcher.

The title sums it up: texture, color, shape. I'd add "line" to the collection, and you have quite a few directional lines that say "look here next" and guide us around the rectangle in which you've framed your composition . I might fuss with it to try and get that lower shelf (?) a bit straighter but not at the expense of the verticals so this may be as close as it gets.

Lovely river of daffodils flowing into then curving out of the frame. The daffodils have had a great year this year. I wish for the nearer treetops especially of the bigger tree on the left. Those in the distance have such interesting shapes.

Richly colored beauty, an almost abstract composition involving just the central workings of this tulip all in sharp intricate detail. Lovely.

And how the architectural styles have changed over that millennium! The big shiny new stuff dwarfs the old structures, but I still think the old ones have more charm and character, especially when viewed like this all set in a row. The "new" city almost looks like a movie set.

I see all kinds of things in this oddity, including a couple of bunnies. (And a goose, a hummingbird, and an owl). Looks Is it malformed by nature or by man? It's springing up in the wild in a bed of lush grasses and forest-land. Interesting territory.

Thanks Minnie.
The lower wall, actually is at that angle. But I'm surprised I didn't notice it and wasn't annoyed by it. I'll "fix it" in Ps for future versions.

I agree but see the relationship between old and new almost 180° opposite.
To me it is not the new that looks like a movie set (from a SF movie probably).
To me, it is the old Tower (once intimidating and awe inspiring to whoever came to London) that looks like a Disney fairground attraction planted in the midst of real life.
