Aussie Landscape opinion welcome

[ricphoto]

I do enjoy landscape / Aussie Bush photography, even if it's not the genre that earns me a full - time living.
Still, I'd appreciate comment / opinion on these images;

Bells Rapids (http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Ericphoto/scene.html)

I'm particularly interested to hear from 'seasoned' landscapers and I'd like opinion on;
1) Composition
2) colour / colour balance / 'realism' of colour

Thanks !

Colors are realistic, and composition is OK. You should try taking these photos at a different time of day. The light is rather harsh. Try sunrise or sunset. You would get nicer reflections and the water would look more interesting

I agree with the comments about lighting. Late afternoon and sunset will give warm, soft light to the landscapes and soft shadows. Sunrise and early morning will appear crisp and bright. You could use the reflection of water to show these, or cloud formations.

Altogether, the composition is great but I feel that the bottom picture in the middle could work well as a panoramic.

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated and interesting too.
Fact is, that most of these were taken in late afternoon, although not sunset or sunrise.
This is Western Australia and the light here is, well, harsh !
As for reflecting clouds, well they were taken in summer ... and beleive me, we don't get ANY clouds in summer here.
Apart from a rare thunderstorm.
I have done later in the day photography at this same spot, but when the river is fully flowing with water in winter.
Thank again.
