George Washington had a Grist Mill.
A few photos from that site.
Please critique so I will learn better photography. So many of you are so talented and I would like to draw from that.

cdbbdc,
Good eye for the final image when taking these. They probably required little/no post processing because you set them up so well! Good ones up close, and good ones taking it all in.
Postcards, all! :)
As for critique... You seem to have known what you wanted, and got it. A place/thing/person can look a million ways through a million cameras-and all be great!
Gun to my head? I'd suggest for, say, "Feed me" that you would either crop out the non-mill stuff on the right, or if you are a purist, allow the focus of the viewer to only see what you want them to see.
Some cameras, like the Canon APS-C chip style, actually capture more of the image than you see in the viewfinder. So you may not have seen the stuff on the right until after you reviewed the images. If these are un-post-processed, then this might be it? Or was it intentional? A million ways!
What I mean is that obviously you wanted the pool to be the thing that I looked at/focused on, but I kept looking at the right edge trying to figure out what was there! :)
I hate critiquing in a negative direction (even under the cloak of constructive), so please don't take any offense. You asked!
You are definitely an advanced photographer than thinks before they click, and I can probably learn more from you than you'd ever learn from me! :)

Hmmm, I will say first that 1, 3 & 4 are pleasing to the eye. There is a little blur to the arm in 4, but I believe that means the arm was moving, I don't think I would have upped the shutter to freeze that, though it brings me there because of the "motion".
#2. I think the shadow of the tree compromised your photo. The retaining wall gets burned out when you get to the sun. I don't mind the wall on the right, but the stuff on the end should go (clone it out) because it stops me before I get to the vertical wall which everything else seems to want me to get to. Except that perhaps the subject was the gate, then the wall should go.
But I could be wrong. Like BE says; there are a million ways!
- So shoot already!!
