#4 for me.
Incidentally, did you lighten the water? The reflection seems lighter than the origin, which is kind of impossible, isn't it?
I can see how mist would lower contrast and crate a lightness in the distance with corresponding lack of detail, but in the foreground? Just pondering...

Here's my camping setup but with all my extension tubes. No aperture control on 300 so wide open.
No macro lenses, but some expensive glass in there, so not many points for ingenuity. translucent white perspex in sunny window for bright defused light.
3 second exposure.
Looks like the whole shebang could have been straightened up better

Try stopping it down less. Faster shutter and less chance of diffraction softness.

Here's the first of many wildlife shots, could have been anywhere, but for once I actually found a jumping spider with prey instead of just posing in the sun

Little over-exposed Chris, but nice and sharp

I want to step back and see the outfit, not all the makeup and (non) concealer.
Her eyes are lost in the shadows; lifeless, but not in a goth way
I find the whole effect uncomfortable.
