Start, malarkey, first post I will believe that, but you have the eye of experience, you do very well indeed.
#1 and#3 great composition, but need some cropping [I am a crop evangelist]. #2 the photo is the driftwood, the mtns are just backdrop ... so if you can go back to the area shoot more of that tree.
[Linda from Maine page 2...same bother about the tree]
#1, crop left up to the leaning tree and crop bottom to get rid of the little dam at the bottom and crop right to get rid of that scruff of grass in fore ground. With that your well composed photo is uncluttered. The viewer will not wonder what is beyond the scruff or what happens to the stream after the little water fall ... poof.... gone.
#3, The message is sun, trees and path.. isolation.... ooops isolation!! what do I see, a house, snow covered boat, and a car... they have nothing to do with the theme of the photo... the freeze to death story.
Again, you have two of the three that are good, but not quite great... little trim work and they are award winners in the Camera Club. If you have not been at photography long.... well gee... you have "the eye." OK, OK your a pro landscape guy and this is your "first post."
See the following free book on composition, long read so just nibble at it:

Why learn Lighroom...big learning curve.... keep your life simple... if your going to learn, then learn a new program like Affinity. Spend your $ on Topaz plugins.
