That's an interesting series, and could merits its own thread to explore other examples. Your images all seem to have been in very high contrast situations, which can wash out colors and produce the appearance of blacks and whites where they aren't present visually. Often when I find myself in such environments I shoot for monochrome. You have used these factors as pathways to creative interpretations, and it works well especially in the final one where the two windsurfers are silhouetted against bright colored sails that are just about the only color in the images.
The first might as well be shot in monochrome as the contrast has rendered it that way for you. The middle one looks like it would make a nice monochrome as well; it is my favorite scene of the 3, a beautiful well composed and dramatic shot where the cloud seems to rise up out of a waterfall that's raging above your head. Thanks for sharing a fascinating set and hopefully starting an interesting conversation here.

It is absolutely spectacular. The best effort so far from your special place. It has all the elements - the water, the mist, the angles, the birds etc. Fab!!! Just bottomless source of amazement...well done.
-
Great shot and amazing observation.
-
Great spontaneous capture.
-
Being a lover of true sour dough bread this shot really resonates with me. So simple and so effective.
-
Oh, well done. You have captured the present invasion of technology upon old and beautiful...
-
Eventhough I like #2 a lot, my vote goes to #3. Love the repetition, colours, shimmering water etc. Brilliant!
-
Just fantastic (imho). This calm and meticulous capture encompasses all which some people like about photography. Reflection of reality and beauty, among other things...

A question everyone. Is it possible to take a photo of a puffin that people don't like?
The rock gives a good stage for our puffins to line up on. Their white patches and orange bits stand out against the grey behind. The small area of out of focus white foam does a splendid job of linking things together with our heroes and their writings on the rocks.
The group of puffins have generally cooperated by looking towards the main character and once again the various parts of the image are drawn together.
I wish we had puffins in Australia. -
Just wow!!! Love your crying man. The whole environment is rather unusual, to say the least. This capture touches us humans on many levels...
-
Love your fascination with this rock! It certainly has enormous variety of textures, colours, meanings, beauty etc. I could probably spent hours there, attempting to see and feel and capture different angles which just create endless shapes...amazing.
-
Just great, great shot. Enough said...
-
Love that natural design. Excellent find and capture.
-
Just brilliant and humorous.
-
Priceless capture. Technology is invading spiritual moments...

I can relate to getting into photography because I couldn't draw. It would be nice for me to be able to blame the school system for this but there were other shortcomings closer to home.
This feels like more of a visual game than a photo to be critiqued. "Draw" seems to be a clue but I'm not linking the dots. It's from simplejoy so it's probably macro. There is an extremely narrow dof which suggests macro again with a wideish F stop. I'm guessing at a plastic button but can't add it up with the clues. Help. -
Oh, that #1 shot is an absolute winner! Fab.
-
Oh that green and the mountains and the mist! You certainly captured a dream scene!
