what happened to the clouds from the first shot? The clouds minus the beaver dam would be awesome I think.

Mucho better! I agree with John/Jack(??) regarding the clouds. I like the first one best, as it's nicely balanced. The second has too much weight on the right side. Why don't you try stitching these two together for a "part 3"?

Paul,
In all shots I think the real interest is the reflection and gradations of tone in the surface of the water; the wiggly sides of the creek are nice too. IMHO everything else in these compositions detracts from that.
Why should there need to be a foreground, midground, and background??? They are uninteresting in this case.
What's the subject? What's the story? What's the point of the picture?
I think you had something really interesting with the creek and reflections of the sky. Everything else got in the way.
