Hi Francis,
I too think reflections are fun to work with. Your selection has a
good variation of colours and rendering of texture.
In my eyes, some of the shots suffer from a slight motion blur. It
seems to be more pronounced the closer you go. The same obstacle has
ruined most of my own attempts...:-(
IIRC, it was very difficult to get good results with shutter speeds
longer than 1/500 (using a 200mm lens), but I suppose that will vary
with the speed of the ripples. Can you recall what speed you used?
The solution in #1, to reduce DOF, works very well in that shot, imo.
My favourite is #9 ,with the raindrops. The little bit of blur there
is seem to suit the situation very well in that shot, imo.
Best,
Jostein

What do you think about these?
I don't know why, but for some reason I have an unreasoning
attraction for these reflected abstracts. Since switching to slide
film last year I have taken more photos of water than of all the
rest of my family put together. At first I thought there was an
infinite number of good shots available in any given piece of water
but after about six months I started to repeat my self, so I've been
sort of winding down since then, but I still usually take a few
every time we go sailing. These were all taken with my P3n and
K200mm f2.5 as far as I remember.
Thanks,
Francis
