Nice shots. It's a beautiful part of the world.

#2 for me is a nice image of a waterfall with blur. I feel that #1 is "too busy" with too much clutter and #3 I won't comment on.

Here is a version of one with a little less clutter and the entire view of the third, which was quite challenging. I have to learn to do manual exposure blending as the quick HDR I tried in Photoshop was pathetic (I have about 3 shots, 2 stops apart). I do prefer the first version with just the stream, I'm really attracted by the golden light on the top part of the water.

Btw, the falls from the first post are:
Mosquito Falls, Miners Falls and a part of Munising Falls (seen full in a later post): http://www.nps.gov/piro/planyourvisit/waterfalls.htm

Few more streams

All very nice. My first choice is the first one in the latest set. Quite dramatic and unusual.

sw-2 has the greatest potential. Did you happen to compose one with some space around the falls, some forest, at least? It would help give the falls some context and the forest greens are rich.

Nope. This is the same vantage point that everybody is using, on a wooden ramp. If I was to go much wider I would have caught the surrounding branches, probably I could have gone few mm wider though.
Honestly I'm not sure I would have thought about it even if I had more space, I didn't expect any masterpiece as everybody is taking pictures from the same spot. It turned out maybe better than the NPS photo (which has more context) but I'm sure there are much more dramatic captures.
