A convincing composition, stunning dynamics and wonderful colors for me, Daniel. Your processing is spot on in my opinion.

Excellent comp, good shutter speed for the movement of the water, and the light has everything glowing. Beautiful work.

Daniel,

Gorgeous! This is a beautifully balanced and very strong composition. The texture and flow of the water is beautiful as well.

This minor, but this image is so good it's only fair that I find a small nitpick to try and make it even better! There's a small twig or leaf stem intruding at the very LLC - only noticed really in the larger view, so I'm guessing it would be an eye catcher in a large print. You might consider either cloning that out, OR I think you have room to crop up from the bottom just enough - or some combo of both. Very nitpicky, but thought I would mention it.

I love this one.

Gorgeous. Love the warm tones and the filtered light with the smooth water flow and the individual leaves just lying around. Nice composition and great depth Daniel.

Beautiful! I might take a little bit of the yellow out of the greens, but just a little. Also, a couple of pretty hot spots in the white water. Maybe clone in some texture at a lower opacity there. Very nice comp!

This is a very nicely composed scene with some great color and light. Great exposure on the water as well.
