Oh Emma, don't tell folk I've been advising you: my post processing skills are not held in high regard on this forum!!! Talk about the blind leading the blind! People will choke on their teas!
These are very good. Favourites ujncl;ude the lovely detail of the reeds which makes a super conversion with good contrast. The colour popped tulips is beautifully done, skilful, really. The best, in my opinion, is number two, a super low angle shot with a terric sky. Probably the best picture of yours I've seen.
Change the colour balance in number one: it's a bit blue. Don't ask me how to do this in Elements, but look for something which offers Variations. perhaps someone with Elements can chip-in!
Best wishes,
Andrew

Emma. I cannot help you with the colour balance in your first pic that bothers Andrew. What bothers me is the lower branch on the right tree that rather dominates the middle of the pic. Could the pic have been taken at a lower angle that would have taken this branch into the sky on the two thirds line, and left the skyline untouched? But! I am not a landscape person and could be talking nonsense. I am sure someone will correct me.
The water feature with the reeds is super, my favourite.

This one needed some serious work in Levels, that's all. The colours took care of themselves!

Andrew, I don't mean to diminish your wonderful talent, but for me the darker, foreboding shot is my pick. Nothing wrong with the one above, its just something about the earlier one that attracts me.
Cheers,
Stephen
ps: Then again, I am becoming more favorable to your lightened one.

To each his own Stephen but the problem with Emma's original is that it lacked a full range of tones: the histogram on the white side was way over into the middle, all I did was stretch this!
If you want dark and foreboding this is what it could look like:
