Nice series.

Nice captures, especially the first. However, the lighting seems harsh. Are you not diffusing the light, or is this from postprocessing?

In the third shot, f/11 + 1/400 + 800 ISO implies a scene lighting value of about 12EV, implying overcast (therefore diffuse) or evening-ish.

For what it's worth ...

The harshness is more apparent in the first two--the very bright reflections. In the third, the reflections are under control, so harshness isn't an issue, but the whites on the left side are blown.

Indeed, Dan. The first two have no EXIF but they almost seem to show artificial lighting, judging by what appear to be specular highlights. Maybe the OP will tell us more ...
