Sheila,
The first 2 are really good (IMO). The branches and that little piece of the lakeshore lead my eyes right to the old fallen tree. There's more of a connection (they all fit together and are related in someway). I also like that the shadow casted allows us to see some of the lakebed under the water (added details).

The 3rd (postworked) one seems a bit to contrasty...vivid yet darker, water is too blue and the shadow is now completly obscuring the wonderful underwater details.

The other shots just seem "off"...too much empty space as was commented by others and the tree seems to be floating in space to me, no connection to the lakeshore (as in the first shot.) The land and branches at top these images are distracting as well. This pulls my eyes away from the main subject (the tree).

Hope this helps!

Joe!
