Wrote a comment on each but it didn't save, so 2nd attempt!
1# Big fan of the simple yet vibrant colours and repetition. The repeating reflection of the LED lights in each glasses reflection gives it that extra detail that makes this photo. I feel the composition may be slightly improved by cropping the lower section below the bases, leaving only the three pools of colour in the reflection.
2# My favorite: Initially looks to be a very well framed canopy shot in a lovely purple hue, but then the edges creep in with subtle detail of soil and pebbles in water. Then the minute detail of the rings in the water become apparent and give the whole picture a very fragile, otherworldly look that could break at any time. And to boot you kept the tree in focus despite a fairly close puddle!
#3 Had my attention for the longest despite only having three distinct elements that I could make out (the subject, wet reflective surface and wet mirror) They each come into their own in various parts of the composition in equal order, without overpowering the others. Together it is a very nicely balanced yet detail filled photo!
4# Clever. Really big fan of the use of refraction in the glass to mirror the background. Simple yet elegant. Two points of mine however: 1. Not sure the mirror was necessary, the glass and background work quite well for me on their own. 2. Compositionally I'd have placed the glass on the top 3rd rather than the middle in order to get more of the reflection.
I really like the second photo - the water ripples are perfectly 'placed' against the harp edges of the trees and the whole picture looks quite abstract. I agree with Oliver about the composition of the last photo, being able to see the entire reflection would have been a nice touch. The strong blocks of colour create a picture and it sort of looks like its been cut off at the bottom. I liked the composition of the first photo though - the glasses take up the whole frame and it makes the colours seem even bolder, they dominate the photo. Really nice!
