#2 and #3 are my pick!
If it was not for the halo…

I don't care for landscape shots with people in them so that rules a couple for me.
No 3 is appealling apart from the halo mentioned. If that is a sharpening artefact try luminosity sharpening.

image three came with my website as demo content (not your image but one taken from the same place)- im pretty sure apple are using it in a number of things also?

cracking shots - love the perspective of number one

colour is best for me and shows also a bit of topography...quite pleasant...and there is a waterfall in it
the first one i thought had most impact but had some people in it which distracted...you chose great position to view the waterfall
cheers

2 & 3 are excellent - great b&w conversion

Seeing these just makes me want to go even more. Really like the last two photos.

I guess I might be the first to say that no. 1 does it for me as it has that edge of reality that the others lack. Don't misunderstand me on that as I like a long exposure on waterfalls as much as the next man, but no. 1 is all about being there and not standing back at a distance, so it's the shot that tells me you really wanted to get it.
