Funny title and story....
There is a blue cast to your white. I would select the blue channel in curves and reduce it.

Looks like fighting or mating (same thing right? lol) swans or some other type of bird. :) Lovely composition and nice eye to see this.

That is such an interesting flower, I may have to find someone around here that has some growing. Lovely shot.

Lovely. It does look like an antennae for some interplanetary communication.

great tones, as though shot underwater...deep in the ocean. I love the Bee Balm and those little things that stick out always have me wondering? satellite connection fo rthe hellions?

Bee balm always looks to me like it's visiting from another planet. Maybe this one is getting ready to 'phone home.' "D BG is perfect, the light is excellent. Border works for me, too.
