It took me a little while to understand what was happening in #3. Then I realized that it's a long exposure of water falling on that boulder. If the stream of water had been a roaring waterfall I think that approach would have worked. But the stream is so slight I tend to think that a short exposure that revealed the individual water splashes might have worked better. As it is, it looks like the left side of the boulder is being covered in gray paint.

Jared, Did we, maybe, push the color saturation a bit?
