Levels/unsharp mask and cropped.
Handheld.The size of the picture lessens the effect of the full sized image but it was the reflections that really made the picture for me.

Such a perferct reflection. I tried to find something regarding technique to comment on, but I don't believe I would change a thing. Excellent composition.
The still water makes a nearly perfect mirror. Very pretty shot. I kind of wonder what the effect would be if you tossed a stone into the water and shot while the rippes were still moving.
This is a very beautiful shot and I like the composition but it looks a little flat to me. I put it in Photoshop and bumped up the contrast by 15 and the color saturation by 10 and now it really pops. Give it a try.
This is a nice shot. I like how clear the reflection is and also the colors. Something doesn't look right though. I think it's a perspective issue. Try rotating the shot slightly before cropping it and it may resolve itself. I would also crop out the dead flower in the foreground (or since the challenge will be over soon, clone it out in photoshop...)

Very beautiful reflection in the water. The reflection seems to be too perfect. Sometime a little splash gives water an off some interesting shapes and reflective highlights.
