Fall foliage happening in New Jersey.

The leaves in the lower right corner of the first one are distracting. Except for that, they are all very nice.
 
Gorgeous colors in #3. Two suggestions you might try and see if you like them:
  1. Set black point. I used the end of the rock at lower right, and not to pure black but to 8-8-8. That will remove the slight haze.
  2. Select the water and increase midtone contrast using unsharp mask.

I did remove some branches..but left the last set with leaves. But I can see how they are still distracting.
Here it is without the leaves ( and minor tweaks ) :

Nice work! That helps. I think there's room in this one to selectively push the fall colors a little without losing that nice muted sense of dusk.
