I think the last needs a bit more contrast. I'd suggest bringing up both the blacks and whites slightly. I don't think you've got much if any data at either end.
As ESS points out, this is a critique site, so we all throw around our opinions, but we're just offering you minor stuff. If I'd taken those shots, I'd be proud of them. Especially since what we're pointing out is easily changed in post.

I agree... When we post images for critiques, and the images are over all good images then we start picking at the little things. Those little things are what can really make or break a shot in alot of cases.
A few years ago I was given a little piece of advice about images and how to determine if it is a good image or not. Essentially it is, "You weigh the positives against the negatives and if the positives overcome the negatives then you have a shot that works.
In this case, the lip reflection is very minor in my mind, the canoe effect is a little more bothersome to me. I should have caught that in camera.
On the last image, the blacks all have detail on my monitor which is calibrated to my lab.
I will post a few more when I get them edited.
Thanks everyone for your comments. They are appreciated
