Like #1, you can try to add ND fillter and set to longger shoter speed so you will get the milky effect on the water

#3 is very nice.
The horizon in #1 is not straight. I know it is not the best of comment, but a tiny rotation clockwise would improve the photo for me.

The set somehow reminds me of Lord of the Rings.

I think the first would be better without the sky, which looks blown-out in parts and isn't interesting.

My favoutite is #3 best. Well, the first image has potential but the sky either needs more details or, as Jeremy suggested, be cropped out. The second photo is interesting with nice textures and deep colors, I like it also but prefer #3.

My favourite is #3 as well, I really like the blue colours.

Many thanks for all the input.

daniaw: smooth blue water might enhance the green spikiness of the moss, good idea. Unfortunately this was taken during a quick lunch break with no tripod or suitable rocks.

Wim: the new version here has a tiny rotation, but -- hey! -- mountainsides are not level.  :)

Jeremy, Walt, Francois: I have further reduced the background mountains, and darkened them. Seems to perk up the moss a bit. I have other shots with less background that I'll work on.

Paulo: thanks!

Much better, in my opinion!
