Thoughts and Criticism Wanted

[TBR]

So I have been taking pictures for quite a while, but recently I received a Pentax K10d and have started to take it seriously. So, here are a variety of the pictures that I am really happy with, tell me what I should have done differently.

Don't be nice. I want honest critique. Also, obviously, that is a lot of pictures so don't feel obligated to say something about everyone.

Wow! I like your water blur photos. What was your aperture and shutter speed? Type of ND filter? polarizers?

Some lacking in the color department and some seem a little "boring" (9, 12).. 9 seems to be out of focus a tad.

All around great job.

Some good work in there - but honestly if you are after more specific comments and advice its better to post few shots at a time - three in a single post and people wil be more willing for a more indepth talk
But from my quick glance you have certainly got some skill!

Definitely post up to 3 photos at a time! Looks like a great location!

Shutter speeds range from .5-30". For the most part I ran aperture as narrow as I could, but some of those are in fact handheld (Pentax's shake reduction is amazing), on those I adjusted aperture for a shutter speed in the 1/3-.7" range.

No ND filter, just a Hoya polarizer.
