If we have something similar to this in my country, I would camp for months there. Good view and beautiful capture Dan.

I like how you've used the cliff on the left to frame the falls. It almost looks like a curtain being drawn back with a dramatic flourish!

Excellent composition. Well captured waterfall with soft miroring. May be also nice in vertical format. Well done Daniel.

A great "green" photo exploration.
I like the oblique and vertical lines.
The fluid texture of the water contrasts nicely with the moss-covered rocks.
The light green beginning in the foreground on the water and going back into the photo is eye-catching.
The mist and edge highlights are great.
Wonderful stuff.

The light beam adds a nice touch and I like your use of the cliff on the left; gives a feeling of peeking around a corner and discovering a magical place.

Love those walls. The light beam is a big plus. I like the shutter speed you choosed, retaining some texture in the FG water. Great photo Daniel.

Excellent! Probably what I like the most is that although it might seem a waterfall picture, it's rather strong in the green surroundings. I love the green alley that drives the viewer to the waterfall. The smoothwater is a plus, and the light beam in the right adds another special touch.

Sweet light and very inviting composition. This soothes my soul on a blustery and snowy day. Beautiul!

I like the perspective, it gives the feeling of peeking around that rock wall. Great capture of some sweet light as well.
