A Cold Shower

During my find last week of this nice stream with several falls, I just focused in on the left side to get a view of this cascade. The rock wall above and behind the water I felt makes it an M&N candidate. Cropped some of the blown snow on the left, and some of the pool from the top & bottom. Like the blues and browns, etc. Shot at ISO-80 at 1/80th and f-6.3. Thanks for any C&C and I'll post a larger version too.

I'm finding it hard getting into this one Bill. Perhaps a wider view to give the cascades more context would work better IMO.

Hi Kah Kit, have to admit I wasn't crazy about this comp when it was done. But I DO like the texture and color of the water and ice surrounding, so I'm thinking maybe a tighter crop on this particular one. And I do have several shots with the wider view you suggest--here is one example. Thank you so much for the advice!!
