White Water Rafting, NC

I originally posted this in the sports photo sharing section but didn't get any comments. I thought maybe people felt they were boring or uninteresting or something else. So I am posting in the C&C section to see if I can spark any feedback. Thanks in advance!

Some shots from the falls. I love sitting by there and taking shots of all the priceless faces coming down

C&C welcomed as always!

Your images are really quite good, sharp, great color, some action. You're in S. Florida? Where did you find this kind of white water there?

I've got an annual white water rafting shoot coming up in a couple of weeks.

I take a different approach trying to show the broader action of the raft and the folks in it as they go through the rapids rather than the closeups. I shoot more like your #3 & #4.

I think they'd be a bit more interesting if they werent cropped so close. Picture quality is great, just recompose with the rule of thirds.

Thank you very much Dave! Actually these were taken in North Carolina, at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. It is a magnificent place that me and my father go to at least 2-3 times a year, you should look it up, it's worth it!

Ty for the feedback. These are not cropped, it is how they were shot. I was testing out my new 400/5.6 lens and was aiming for close-up facial expressions.
