The first one is the best - you need to work on the water-blurring pictures.

I assume you were using a tripod for the second two pics? I can see what you were trying to do (blur the water - hence the slow shutter speed) but the whole image looks like it is suffering from camera shake (hence the question).

The water is also over-exposed which means you are losing the blur effect there too.

Also, if you lower the camera sensor sensitivity next time you will be able to use a slow shutter speed without having to increase the F-number so much - and therefore increase the effective resolution of the image which might help.

i was waiting for someone to pick up on the lack of detail in the second two, they are 1.3 second long exposures, without a tripod......had the pod with me but, the camera attachment was left behind haha

i was wanting a 2 second shot to see how fog like the water would look, having left the attachment behind at home this wasn't possible

Even so the first picture is still a stunning pic!
