The first one is so damn gorgeous, but the photographer in me can't help but feel a bit let down by the large amount of misty goodness and over the top colors that is almost certainly, in part at least, thanks to your processing style. Not saying it's good or bad. In fact, as a casual viewer I find it extremely beautiful. Maybe that's all that matters? With that said, the colors are fantastic, if a bit over the top (the blues in particular look pretty saturated). The composition is great as well ... love the way the three boulders anchor the diagonal flow of water. Excellent choice of shutter speed. "Fury" is really quite amazing. I do find the bit the horizon tilt to be a bit distracting, but that's the only thing that bugs me. Love the overcast light and green water. It gives a different feeling compared to a sunny blue Hawaiian wave, for example. "Cascades" is my least favorite of the bunch ... the color in the sky does seem too pink considering the brightness of the sun, and it seems like a graduated filter was employed to warm up the sky while keeping the water cool. I'd tidy up that line just a bit if you're going to keep it around. Composition on "Cascades", while nice and simple, is not as attention grabbing as the others. Overall, a great set of images. Is it how I would process them? No, but that's probably just fine
