Looking for a little input on these photos

[photo_joe]

Took these shots a few days ago and was looking for some feedback. I've got more that I took that day, but figure I don't want to overload people.

Thanks in advance for any inputs.

Nice images.i feel refreshed.

They're not bad; I think you chose the right shutter-speed for the water. I would suggest cropping away the bridge at the top and for future shots like this, consider using a polarizing filter to reduce reflection off of the water and enhance saturation.

Pretty. It would be better with a huge pop of color. It's a bit flat, but still really nice.

The lighting was poor, largely because of what looks like a heavy overcast and the time of day.

For me your shutter speeds were way to long, and your lens apertures to small. Your photos have lost focus sharpness from diffraction caused by the small apertures. But you likely used the small apertures to get DOF.
To render nice smooth flowing water you only need exposure times of 1/2 to 1 second.

For example, in the last one you posted you used 20 mm at f/22, an 8 second exposure, and I estimate the focal point ws 30 feet away. Opening the aperture to f/16 would have given you almost exactly the same DOF, while minimizing diffraction from lens aperture, and would have let you reduce the exposure time a stop to 4 seconds.

#1 could have benefitted from having the camera higher.

#2 looks like the camera was a bit to far to the right.

#3 the transition from waterfall to streambed, essentially the local horizon, is almost exactly centered horizon if the frame which diminishes some of the drama and tension the photo could have had.
