They appear to be nice compositions, but the backgrounds are consistently very low in tone which causes the loss of shadow detail and very high contrast.

My preference is a faster shutter speed because I am one of the few who does not like silky water - I prefer a more natural look.

Thanks all for your input and votes. As I said earlier, we photographers have different opinions of what constitutes a good picture(as indicated by the votes). That is a good thing!
I actually bracketed these shots and others and I am going to try HDR with them.

Oh, this may sound silly but I am really pleased to see all the #1 votes...that is the one I like...and thought maybe I was "old fashioned" or not "with it"....I have seen so many photos lately of water falls in magazines, and calendars, with the "silky" water, and was afraid that was the new "kewl"...it looked like over done P/P to me.....happy to learn the cause! I am so pleased to be on this forum, for learning, sharing and inspiration from all of you!!

No doubt # 2. The 1/3s shutter makes a big difference.

I'm preparing to demonstrate to a small group of photographers the use and advantages of going at least partially manual with the camera settings to set the"mood". Here are a few examples.
My camera is a Nikon 300s the lens a Nikon DX, AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G.
I used a tripod, it was a cloudy day in a forest setting.
Settings #1:200 ISO f2.0 speed 1/160s(chosen by camera) 52mm.
#2:200 ISO f22 speed 1/3s (chosen by camera) 52 mm
#3:200 ISO f4.5 speed 1/20s (chosen by camera) 52mm
These are not meant to be award winning images, but on the other hand give me your critique, good and bad. What is your preferred setting?
