I normally shoot waterfalls using a circular polarizing filter, that I install before arriving at the photo scene.

I took these 3 days ago. I removed the camera from a holster type bag, and, to my horror, the filter came off the camera and fell to the ground, landing on sand.

I wanted to properly clean the filter and check the threads so that is why these photos are “unfiltered”. The filter seems to have cleaned up OK.

I also wanted to test my recently purchased Nikon 18-140 for the first waterfall photos.

Nikon D7500(photos 1-3).
Panasonic LX10 for photo #4, for more natural looking water.

A Fantastic set of images!!!!
The only thing I have used a polorizing filter for since going digital is reducing glare.

Photos still came out ok without the filter. That is why I usually carry a backpack with more stuff than I usually need. Anyway, glad your filter is ok.

Very interesting to compare photos 3 and 4. Both were taken from the same spot covering the same subject but 3 is portrait orientation while 4 is landscape. To me, 3 is the better shot. The foreground rocks are the subject in both, but 3 seems to make better use of the waterfall and the sense of depth/perspective from the rocks to the waterfall is better. Better lighting, too. But that's of course in my humble and non-expert opinion.

Beautiful set! The first image in landscape is my favorite. The diagonal of the stream going to the falls is wonderful, great composition and lighting.

Don't know if a polarizing filter would have done much, but you have some real nice shots there. Like #3.

Nice images! It doesn't look like the filter was affected.
I like #3 best; very strong composition.
One suggestion for #3. I think it would be even stronger if you cropped out the bottom rock. Three rocks makes the foreground overwhelm the falls. Two rocks would better balance the composition.
Anyway, that's just my opinion.
