ooh mid day sun and shade - very hard to work with. expose either for the people or the river bank, dont try to get halfway between becasue part will be too bright and part too dark.
this is tough, with the subjects being in the light and so much in shadow. the people are quite bright compared to the rest of the image. i like the reflection.

This isn't a bad photo, but I think there should have been more thought given to the shadows under the tree and the placement of the three people in the canoe. The middle person is almost all hidden.
This has a little too much 'snapshot' feel to it. Mostly I think it comes from the harsh lighting which is probably due to time of day, so theres not alot to do about it. When taking pictures in these conditions you might try setting the exposure compensation (assuming your camera has one) to -2/3 or even -1.
the main thing I like about this is the duck at the right hand side. He's either coming in to land or just flapping his wings, but I like the fact that he's level with the boat on the other side... does that make sense? lol
