Hi Daniel,

what a lovely place !

Only nit for me would be the sun/sky part which my eyes would prefer to see more yellow and saturated.

Nice job.

Very beautiful!
The greens and the water make up for the slightly-bothersome sky, for me.
I'd be tempted to try a tighter crop, to get rid of some/all of the sky and focus on the great waterfall.
Or maybe just darkening and adding contrast to the top would do it.. an image well worth working on a bit more, imo.

Nice water fall that works nicely with the greens. I too would crop out the sky, I find it a distraction.

This will make a great huge print! A lot for the eyes to explore.

What a photogenic place and lovely comp. For me the sunstar more than makes up for the bright sky.

Beautiful waterfall. I really like all the green moss covering the rocks, and a nice comp brings it all together.

Beautiful image Daniel. Although I like the sun burst, the picture of the falls and the green mosses really standout when you crop the sky out and make them the absolute subject of the picture; which I too prefer.

My, what a magnificent waterfall. I think you've done a great job with this. I feel that he V-shaped white sky actually leads the eye to the main attraction - the waterfall. And there are enough tree branches and leaves at the top to make this work as-is. The sun star is just icing on the cake! Love the detail too. :toast:

Sunstar is an interesting element here, though I find the large foreground moss-covered rock more compelling. What a lovely place.

I really like the more intimate comps of this spot, but this looks pretty darn good too. It's tough to incude the sky, and sun into this scene judging by the looks of it. You have done pretty well with that.

Superb shot Daniel. This must have took some scouting to get this just right. Very well balanced comp.
