I fear you may reduce the good feedback you might otherwise receive by limiting your request to "professionals." There are many outstanding nature and landscape photographers here who do not make their living in photography, but can (and do!) write books on the subject...

The second and third image in Black and white are lovely except they need to be adjusted for level. Both images appear tilted to the left.So, it makes one feel that the structures are tilted.

Each is well composed and has great tonal range. The first is so oversaturated that a fine scene looks juiced up, as for a travel brochure or some other commercial venture aimed low. Perhaps backing off the saturation until you exaggerate just a bit?

They appear to be level to me, looking at some of the beams in the bridge, and the left side of the larger building in the last. The approach beams to the bridge are on an angle forward, so that is probably what is throwing it off for you.

I'm drawn to the mill and waterfall simply due to the subject matter. All in all a nice composition, but a longer shutter speed would have enhanced the waterfall. And perhaps try to get some separation of the tone values in post production if possible. Just my thoughts. Best wishes.

For me .. in the first .. I find the distraction of the blurred car .. the yellow caution sign ...the corrugated drain and the mounted lights and speaker mounted by the tree ... I would remove them for a 100% Landscape look ..
Over enhancement on some of the trees and a washed out look on the rocks and areas between the trees and river ..
The second picture .., a slight straightening to the right and a slight lightening of the inside of the shadow area in the bridge ..
On the third .. a little faster shutter speed .. for the water and straighten out to the right the horizontal and
The wood slats on the building beg for detail .. to be brought out ..I would detail that area /..
I will private message you the changes I believe will make your already good shots ..great shots ...The first shot will be a challenge as it has been post edited a lot ...
Thnx for asking and posting .., that takes courage on this site ...
