Overwhelmed with choices I decided to narrow it down by adding the associated seasons and colours, often finding only one untouched photo that fits these parameters!
Of course, once one starts playing with photos in various apps the options go way up. Here are untouched-up and over-touched-up photos together for the theme.
Water, Winter, Blue. 
Wood, Spring, Green.
Fire, Summer, Red. 
Earth, Harvest, Yellow. 
Metal, Autumn, White.

Your photos are excellent, Elizabeth.Very creative eye.
Perfect Elizabeth, you nailed this week’s challenge
Interesting approach!
Cee once had these as a series of challenges – I got started on them but never finished – it was a perfect way to narrow down the choices to something more manageable!
Excellent work!
