New to photography and looking for critiques.

I've been pursuing photography for a few months and I haven't had many comments or much advice. All tips are very welcome!

The 3rd one had a lot of life and story to it. Really like it. Did you use a lens filter for the first photo or did u photoshop it, to create that soft look?

For the first photo I diffused my light source through a piece of newspaper as well as warming up the colours and darkening the shadows on photoshop.

it's easier when you number the photos...

but #2 your focus area has no light, maybe i would've tried to focus on the trees at the other side of the lake and have this area out of focus...

#3 does it for me, very nice photo

p.s. i'm also still learning, so good job!

The camera I'm using at the moment is a Canon powershot but fortunately I'll be upgrading to a canon 20d in a couple of months.
