    It is a nice exercise and nice reflections but nothing special image-wise.

    Problems include flat colors (very early morning or close to sunset would have given much better results) having the horizon cut the images in half (I am no big fan of the rule of thirds but these could benefit from an off-center horizon) and a flattness of the images because there is nothing in the foreground.

    They are all very crisp with nice exposure. However, they really need more than you're giving us - some foreground, a boat, a shaft of light through the clouds, anything! As it is there is nothing to lead the eye into and around the picture.

    One thing you could try is to just crop and rotate a section of the rippled reflection - it might make a nice abstract.

    Cheers
