I cant pull exif, some look real sharp and some are a bit off (long exposure, handheld, I guess). last 2 look the best. I need to find waterfalls and try the stuff out also.

[Mr B Snappy]

Other than several of them not being sharp I'm finding a lot of the debris (twigs mainly) distracting, especially the big one in the forground of number 4. Maybe move some of them next time.

on 3 and 4 the composition is a lil better than the others and i would say if you really want good waterfall type shots use a tripod and really push the envelop on the long exposures. Maybe try a different time of day like just after the sun is gone but its still light out or early morning right before the sun comes up. Yeah the branches/twigs in your scenes really hurt your photos more than help.

well thank you all for you input i will really take it in to consideration if i go back there, as for a tripod im not sure if i can use one there its really hard to get there and if u could see where i was standing to take the pics i did you would understand but i do apreciate the help

I do alot of hiking/backpacking. Carrying around a tripod is annoying at best, unless you can afford one of those carbon fiber ones. I think they are the ones that are ultra light. But when in the backcountry, you can use nature to build a tripod. I usually stack a bunch of large rocks, get the shot, and then disperse the rocks as they were, to conform to low impact standards. I think the composition of #3 is the best. I think these types of photos are better suited at wider angles to provide more context to the scene.

Try using a ND filter. This will allow the water to blur more as the shutter will remain open longer to give the correct exposure.

[JAZZ D.P.G.]

The first caught my interests, and I'm wondering if a some exposure adjustment to the raw file might bring out more of the area around the water.
The composition is good.
Yes, do adjust your scenery without damaging anything. Put it back after.

i like these types of phots as well. the last couple looked pretty good. try to remove any distracting debris from the frame when you can. also, for extended exposure use a tripod so that the other pieces of the picture are sharper.

[Pete-eos]

With shots like the first one I'd consider moving any large out of place sticks for example.
There's much potential here, number 3 is my favourite, I'd say a decent tripod would make a world off difference if possible.
