The pictures are very beautiful. Lots of emotion and atmosphere. They truly do feel alive. I absolutely love the difference in color for each image, and how it relates to the emotion being described. There are many other things you can do with the other emotions. You can use an image of dead trees for grief, thorns or wide open area for anxiety, dark or dangerous plants/places for fear, etc.
One issue I do have though is that a few emotions (mainly the negative ones) can be somewhat of a stretch. The subject is usually seen as very positive, so it makes sense that the positive emotions came out amazing while the negative ones fell back.
What I would recommend is to introduce other things into the negative images, while still applying to the theme. For example. Say you took the image for fear, then made it darker and more oppressive. Instead of a close up of a bush, take a wide and open image of a dark forest. With that, you have an image that still applies to the main theme (nature I assume), but this time, it invokes the feeling being described.
Overall though, I believe these are the highest quality images I've seen in this class yet. The actual image is amazing, keep doing what your doing. As for the idea behind the image, try to think more personally about the scene. "Has nature ever scared me? When and why?" Don't try to think about the audience here. Think about how nature invokes You with these emotions. Do that, and I believe you'll benefit greatly.
But that's just my opinion. Keep up the good work!
