Not very convincing to my eyes. The circular bokeh highlights in the background looks like you shot wide open - in other words - a fast shutter speed was likely used as well. The movement in the foreground plant is very slight, but there's nothing else in the shot that shows a sharp stationary object.

After browsing this scene, the mountains in the back are sort of ugly. :-/ When I place my hand across the top third of the photo, the picture changes entirely. It becomes much more rugged and exciting.

Tough one. Fast lens, high ISO? On second thought, the starbursts from the lights say smaller aperture. F13/F16 maybe? Ok, you used a tripod. :-)

First off, might I suggest not titling your shot with your ISO? You could have shot wide open with a f/1.2 lens and a 1/10 sec shutter. It appears your camera exposed for the sky leaving all other objects in silhouette. The water is difficult to see and the clouds appear stationary. If one of those two subjects showed smoothing or blur, it would be obvious a tripod was used.

No question here. Can't do this handheld.

Nice soft waterfalls and sharp rocks. My only irritant with this shot is that big tree branch hanging down in the way of the pool area. That really kills the shot. Maybe a lower shot position could have eliminated that.

Hard to judge this one. It's near sunset, so unless you were shooting wide open with a fast lens and a high ISO, it could have been done handheld. It would have worked better had you done a longer exposure to smooth out the water by eliminating the minor ripples.

There's really no blurred movement in the clouds or softness in the water. And from this POV, the small waterfall isn't clear enough to see if it is silky soft. The small ripples in the water tell me the exposure wasn't very long - it could have been handheld.

Unfortunately, just titling a photo HDR doesn't necessarily mean it was taken on a tripod. Some of the newer cameras now are able to reproduce a very wide DR. Couple this with tone-mapping software and you can get results such as yours. If you had found a part of this stream that had water movement and set up a long exposure focusing on that, then it would have been more obvious.

With the silhouetted foreground, it appears that your camera exposed for the sky. Would have been nice to see more blurred movement in the clouds.
