With a waterfall, 22 images seems to be enough to make the falling water very smooth.
The pond has more texture than the image captured with an ND filter.

Median leaves more texture on the surface of the pond than mean.

Using max in this case softens both the falling water and the pond a bit, but also adds highlights.

This scene has a lot of dynamic range. Compositing greatly extends the dynamic range that can be captured allowing detail in both the deep shade and bright sunlight.

The foliage has been replaced with the foliage from one of the original 16 images
to eliminate motion blur in the foliage.

Lots of burning and dodging to deal with the very large dynamic range of the scene.
In the original tiff there is lots of detail in all but the very darkest areas.
