Slivers of Self: When you open yourself to others, they can only ever see a portion.
Bridging Realities: The tree reaches towards its own shadow like a child might to understand.
Revelation: The sun reveals the pattern of the burgundy Ficus leaf that would otherwise be hidden.
Ripples and Lines: The ripples on the water's surface play against a reflected houseline, confusing realities as they interact.
Divide: The stark contrast between the dark foreground and bright background emphasizes the shapes and dynamic lines of the image in a way that I think generates tension for the viewer, narrating the piece.
Stoicism: The heavy shadows over the still pond were perfect for capturing reflections, contrasting the dappled sunlight on the ground.
Oasis: I really struggled with the harsh sunlight in this image. The delicate shadows on the statue make it come to life as the divine, protector of the oasis.
Waiting: The sunlight playing on this spider's web reveals it's trap while the weaver waits along the underside of the foliage.
A Moment: The narrative quality of light is especially highlighted through this image.

Warped Perspectives: The bending quality of both light and wood play against each other in this piece.
I love that you are naming each of the images that you post. That tells me that you are thinking deeply about meaning in a visual realm. Words help make our intuitive thoughts tangible. Editing note, Stoicism and Oasis are good examples of some further editing that needs to be done. In Stoicism, see how the bright sunlight on the walkway and grass draw the eye away from the focal point, which is the reflections in the pond? A feathered selection then a darkening using brightness-contrast will quite that area down. To bring up more detail and presences in the pond, again, a feathered selection and levels would do the trick. The same issue is there with oasis... where is the focal point? Does the source an the focal point align? They certainly do with the image "A Moment". I love the self portrait.
