Good angle on #3, silhouetted the trees, and got a reflection in the water too. If that's a spot near you, would love to see what that looks like as the season changes and as you get the exposures down pat (I'm a noob too, soaking up that Understanding Exposures book that everyone raves about, so my technical knowledge 'til I get all the way through it).
Really like what you're doing in #5 as well, interesting having the buddha reflected.
