As above with the favourites. Something I've noticed throughout the images is that there a lot of blown highlights with 4,5 and 6 suffering the most. The bow in number 2 doesn't work because of the composition whereas number 6 is quite busy so I find myself looking around to find something to settle on; I think you've suffered camera shake number 6 so it also appears to be a bit soft to me.

They're nice pictures, but I'd make the following two observations:
* I find cloudy conditions preferable for this sort of subject. You can get slower shutter speeds which can help with getting the silky look in the water. There is also less of a problem with excessive contrast which several of yours suffer from (ie blown highlights)
* Your white balance looks out to me on no's 2 and 6 and possibly 3 as well. Look at the colour of the silky water sections. They should be neutral.
