From your comment, I presume that these were mainly done as lens tests but they are nice shots and, of the first three, the first works well for me.

Assuming they are your family, perhaps you have (or will) make good prints of the last two - they will have real interest, meaning and value for you and future generations of the family. (I have little confidence in the long-term ease of accessibility to digital data.)

Number 5 for me - a beautiful classic photo.

Number 2 is my choice (but without the twig) - a clever shot.

Yes, I think this great well-seen image is made even better by cropping off the top pink leaves.

When I was working, for many years I used an old version of PaintShop Pro (4.15SE) given free on a magazine cover disk, for drawing diagrams on information sheets. When I restarted photography as my main pastime in 2011 and spotted the then latest version in PCWorld for half the price of PS Elements, it was an obvious choice for me. It does everything I need, and much, much more, for editing and adjusting to my taste the images I usually record as best quality JPEGs from the camera, for projecting (max 1600x1000) or printing at camera club size (max of about A3). So I have been using PSP ever since, and now with version 2019. I have no wish to pay rent to Adobe, however good their stuff might be - instead I take advantage of the Corel PSP version upgrade offers that occasionally arrive on screen in a pop-up window, at below £30. I also still use the free version of the Nik software, particularly Silver Efex Pro, as a PSP plug-in.

A great subject nicely framed and looks good in mono.

Wonderful images. I particularly enjoy number 7 for the amazing foreground rocks.

You didn't need to apply any effects for me - the natural shots make great abstracts.
