Well done! The key is ... captures taken after a shower. If the clouds are still there and you have water droplets as well, what could be better! The clouds create a soft lighting that totally rid the shot of shadows and colors are more saturated. You picked the best time to "Get the Shot." Also, because of the soft light, there is no bad time to take the shot. Do try different angles for the Iris. I have a nice shot but still learning how to upload images but will try to get it out there.

I like your first and second shots very much.
The first of the sea shell, I love to test my lenses on subjects like this. Often they are very interesting and taken on a tripod with timer using live view, it well exemplify just how good the lens can perform.
The second shot has great potential. The composition is excellent but the time of day it's taken is robbing you of an outstanding shot. I'd try it again, when the sun is low in the evening and get the suns glow on the branches. In your shot, viewing 1:1, I can see to much leaf shine and dark branch shadows. This shot can be a winner in the right light. I hope you can take another and personal message the shot back to me (do use a tripod for this one).
Though sometimes we cannot go back, it's still lessons learned. I find great local shots and have reviewed them later to see just as you've done. Found the shot but not the right light. I go back and try several times to get it ... because it will be great. I shoot to many pictures and trash all but the keepers (keep the 5% and sometimes, later trash down to 3% LOL) but I cannot save every shot anymore. I shoot every day.

Curves can add another dimension of interest to your photos. See for example this article:( remove the space in the address to make it work): digital-photography-school .com/composing-with-curves/. So for this challenge I'd like to see you use curves in your shots. It can be a composition element or just some interesting curvy objects. I am looking forward to your comments on the use of curves!
My contribution.
