The first image reminds me alot of a park I used to walk in all the time back in Ohio, it look just like the view from a small bridge there. Thanks for the memories!
Now the critique: the first image has the far shore at roughly the halfway point in the image - it's half water/half land - this ratio tends to lead to static visuals. The general rule (of thirds) says to place the horizon (in this case the shore) in the bottom third or top third of the image. I would recommend getting lower to the water too, it helps provide some foreground interest and pull the viewer in.
2nd image - compositionally stronger, the main subject is roughly at the lower left juncture of the rule of thirds and the shore is in the top third of the image, I'm not sure what to suggest to make it stronger.
3rd image - nice contemplative image, again not sure what I could suggest to make it stronger.
Thanks for sharing!
