Great color here, Mario. I think this is good as is, but might also work nicely flipped vertically.

Wow. That has some great shapes and colors. It’s obviously a reflection, but retains enough detail that my mind doesn’t wonder at what it is. The green in the tree trunks is really nice.

Very nice. It coveys a feeling of an oil painting to me.

This is a fine reflection shot, Mario. The trees are well balanced across the frame as the rippled water adds a nice level of abstraction.

This is a very neat abstract image Mario, both the textures and the colors are very attractive. And you have achieved a nice balance in the composition, good spacing on the trees. The luminosity and contrast of your processing adds a lot of vitality to the image for me.

I had the same thought as @David_Bostock , a vertical flip works pretty well too, as does your original presentation. Good abstracts often lend themselves to multiple orientations.
