The running water looks unrealistic. Call it a preference, but I am not a fan of the overly white and solid masses of looking water, preferring something in between. I know this cannot be helped in some cases. Your compositions are fine, although you will notice, in this kind of light, with the dark wet areas of rock, the lovely greenery does not stand out. I prefer the compsoition of no-3 and the water look of no-2. The columbine shot does not quite make it for me. I have many like it where the DOF is either too shallow or too great- in this case not enough DOF. The wind in the trees shot is my favourite. It may or may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it is reasonably good to me. Look at in large format and it will grow on you. As to the colour, I have the same problem and I have done hundreds of experiments in motion studies. Green as a background (grass and trees) just does not do very well in motion shots, particulary where it overlaps onto other subjects or elements. It tends to look washed out. I have to revert to manual to ensure the meter does not change at the last second. I just bought a 3 stop ND filter to try some motion shots.
