Smooth waterfall and shooting fireworks. Has to be a tripod!

Yep, tripod had to be used.

Quite honestly, you probably picked the wrong subjects for this particular challenge. While the birds are showing movement, it could be possible to capture this handheld as well.

You had the perfect opportunity to show tripod usage in this shot, but didn't take full advantage of it. Amusement park rides such as these need to have at least several seconds of exposure time to show streaks of blurred light.

Do you know what would have worked better here? Seeing the second hand appear all around the face of the watch. As it is, no movement is showing.

I'm going to take a stab at this and say an IR filter was used? The tree is displaying "frosted" leaves. IR definitely needs a tripod.

If the water had more of a silky flow to it, it would be a no brainer. As it is, it could have been done handheld. 1/2 sec exposure?

I'm not seeing any water, cloud, or tree movement that suggests this was taken on a tripod. It could have been done handheld.

Something seems a tad bit off with the photo. It's almost like your tripod encountered a very slight bump. Some of the stationary objects have that ever-so-slight nervousness in them - as if your tripod got bumped.

Just perfect. I love the non-existence of the waves and the sharply outlined footsteps.
