The first two have a very different colour cast to the water-- almost a sepia tone. Often falls photos appear to be too blue. Did you adjust for this?

I set the white balance in Adobe RAW by selecting the whitest high light in the spray. Because the moorland above is very peaty the water takes its colour from that.
The pools in the river lower down take on the colour of beef soup after heavy rain.

That's what I suspected. The river through Portland (Oregon in the US) gets very brown when it's high due to flooding elsewhere. Right now it's pretty low-- and much bluer. Fall/Winter is coming...

When you set your white balance by "selecting the whitest high light in the spray" you very often select a spot where the highlights are blown and thus have no data. This results in an incorrect white balance. You need to pick a spot where the red, blue and green have nearly equal values. It sometimes takes some looking and adjusting the higher or lower values can bring you closer.
At times it is best to adjust simply by selecting what looks best (visual).

The color bias I see most often in water falls is the shift toward blue in the highlights. The best option (IMO) is to white balance using an ExpoDisc (or some like product)-- making sure it's oriented to catch the light falling on the scene-- not reflected by it. One can also use an 18% gray card (either side) to auto white balance. The cloudy setting is a safe fall-back option.

Very good for a first try, water looks smooth like it should.

This is a perpetual thread for all members to post images of moving fresh water.
Another thread will be moving sea water (waves & tides).
No HDR! That is another forum.
We request typical exposure settings to accompany all images, including: camera make & model; lens make & model; shutter duration and aperture used. Also, any situational info of interest.

Didn't you say that 1 sec. or longer qualifies as long exposure?

I'll toss my pixels into the ring ... A small tributary stream of the Serpentine River here in Surrey BC.
Canon T2i with kit lens at 36mm / F 5.0 / 1/8 second / ISO auto (160)
Taken near the end of the day in the fall. Wee bit of post to desaturate, tint, and diffuse.
