Sandy - Very interesting colored rock. I think the image could stand a boost in contrast, and possibly a little crop off the bottom. The dark left corner grabs my attention maybe more than it should, perhaps because it is next to the light wood.

Sandy:
Interesting find. Like the blur in the water. Agree with Harry about the image being flat.

Almost makes me feel like I've been let in on a secret. A very intimate image.

I really like the colors, the contrasting textures and the softer light in this. I also like Harry's suggestions about a little more contrast and the crop.

I am admiring your composition here - the elements themselves don't strike me as being terribly photogenic, but you've tied everything together very well and it works. I think it could use a slight bump in brightness.

Sandy, I really like the pastel colors and the sense of a waterfall in hiding. I think this works very well as a quiet scene and it shows the value of looking closely at the world around us.

Neat composition, I like it. It's humble and understated. Even so, I think it could use a little more punch in the water highlites, and a little more contrast.
