C&C per req:

1. Very nice; you've got just the right shutter-speed to impart some motion into the water. I would suggest leveling it however, and watch your exposure, as you've lost some detail in the highlights of the water.

2. Is this desaturated slightly? I really like the effect regardless, but again it needs to be leveled. Did you consider shooting a panorama?

3. I like thisp plain and simple, perfect exposure and composition with the text, but I would really try and lighten up the large dark blob lower left. It really detracts from the shot.

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

Thanks Tirediron (does your nick stands for someting?),
#2 is a single shot but your right I have also shot a series of 12 portraits to stitch... will post the result when done.

My other hobby is collecting old engines, antique industrial equipment, etc... "tired iron".

2 and 3 shows me i like your taste. #1 i want to like but (maybe not an absolute rule) verticals need priority over horizontals. Or sometimes (?) I dunno, but the off-vertical water-channels in the bridge detract for me. "Split the difference" IMO try and get those a bit more true..and keep the waterfall as horizontal as that allows.

Bit of pincushion in #2 but very nice otherwise.

"Autumn" (?) Autumn? ok ..autumn. Whatever.


cheers,
