This is somewhere in the Flat Tops mountain range in Colorado. This is one of several falls in this canyon. Thanks for looking.

I think you did a good job with the exposure - maybe a touch over here in some spots of the water, but I'm really picky about that. I like the comp too with the flow running out of the lower left. Overall real nice. It does seem like the white balance is off a bit (In ACR, I thought it could use a +24 and +14 in temp and tint). And the middle right side where the water exits the frame makes it seems bit cut off.

(On a side note, I'd encourage you to jump in and comment more. The usual guideline here is 5-to-1 comments to posts; But more importantly than that, I find I learn and get back more from viewing others photos critically than just getting feedback on my own! It doesn't matter if you're qualified or not - just thinking about the image and trying to say what you like/feel/dislike etc is valuable. :smile: )

This waterfall goes on forever! No details on your equipment or settings, I notice, but that looks like a wide wide angle lens. Love the tiers at the top and the surrounding rock formations add a lot of character. What a sight.
Looks a little blue? But overall a nice shot.

I should be the last one to complain about 'too blue' :rolleyes: but yeah, id warm this up a bit. I like the pyramid flow to the comp, tho. :smile:

I agree with others about the blue but I like the composition here.
