Picture 1 IMO: The green ultra-bright area in bottom center is a bit distracting and I don't understand why it is sharp and the distance is sharp but the gold ground close to water's edge is out of focus (motion blur?)
Good question. Although there was wind, that is not the entire story. I carry one lens (24-105mm) backpacking to conserve weight. I focus stack images like this and I really screwed this one up. I just about cried when I got home and saw what happened. I did the best I could in post but foreground is still soft. The image would have been so much better if I had taken my time to make sure all three shots were sharp before continuing my trek. I was just passing by and wanted to get shots quickly and get moving again. Excuses excuses

Great series Dale! I am amazed at the first photo. The feeling of depth in the background - it somehow has the 3-D feeling. Excellent processing. Congratulations!
Outstanding images, both leave the eyes speechless, i wager you have some more great ones from this trip we are not seeing. Nothing like a good hike to open our eyes.
