B+w ones more so but like them all.

Not enough good waterfalls here, where were they shot?

Thanks, the location was Virginia Water!

Second one for me - water looks good. I see it was a 1 second shot which is interesting as I always go for the slowest possible shutter for these which is clearly not necessary!

In the way of C+C: maybe a bit of interest in the foreground such as a leaf or a nice rock or something would help ?

Completely honest ( and by no means an expert opinion):

1. The highlights are completely blown, composition is ok.

2. Good composition, the movement of the water draws you nicely around the image. B&W treatment works well.

3. B&W doesn't save this one for me, too much of the image is blown highlights again. Composition doesn't work at all for me.

4. Weird colour cast / white balance. Worst of the set for composition, there is just no focal point.

Don't be put off by this as number 2 really is very good. You just need to think about how the various aspects of the image work with each other.
