Hi Christos,
Welcome to the forum! As a participant, you are only allowed to post 1 image in 48 hours......besides.....this gives us a better opportunity to comment on the images!
I have deleted the other images and am commenting on the 1st one.....I hope you post the others as they all had some nice elements!

I like the flow of the falls you have captured and the SS you chose. You may want to try and open the shadow a touch more to give the image that much more depth. I like the diagonal flow of the water and feel a slight crop of the brightest area in the ULC would only strengthen the diagonal comp. Nice first post and welcome to the forum!

Hi Cristos, I also like the look of the water flow along with the basic composition. I'm going to differ slightly and would of wanted a small amount more room on the left.
I also welcome you to the forum...

Agree with opening the shadows a bit. I also agree with showing more on the left. Nice choice of SS on the water.

Christos,

Actually it is 24 hours. Guideline #20.

20. Members may post only one image in each forum in a twenty-four hour period. Forum Contributors may post one image in each forum in a forty-eight hour period.

See it and the other forum guidelines at:
http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/guidelines.aspx

I agree with the others comments.

Tough light makes the contrast here unwieldy with dark shadows.

I suggest opening up shadows and using a reverse s-curve to tame contrast (see my tutorial here http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20434).
