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.

The silkiness of #2 for me.
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!

My camera is a Nikon 300s the lens a Nikon DX, AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G.

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?
