Great find - the hint of color on the far right keeps my eye in the otherwise dark area. I can see there must be some good detail in there - difficult to tell with the small upload. A pleasing warm glow produced by the diffused lighting. Maybe some processing helps bring this out? Not sure what technique might be used for this, but it look fantastic!

Wow that is really gorgeous, has a magical forest kind of feel to it. I'm a little on the fence about the big slab of rock on the right. The fact that it's bare of any leaves and quite dark makes it stand out. You could crop some of the right which unbalances the composition somewhat. Otherwise I wonder what sort of effect lightening it might have.

With the waterfalls this is a very special fall scenic, Arnab!
This will make a beautiful print. You've composed it wonder-
fully being strong from front to back with lovely light and colors.

I like this a bit more than Secret Passages, but the dark values fell just a bit under-exposed. Would like to see a bit more shadow detain in the rocks.

This is a beautiful autumn scene, Arnab. I imagine it must be a wonderful place to shoot.

Fabulous composition! I'd like to see a saturation reduction on the LHS, and maybe a tiny screen blending under the falls. Man, this is a seriously inviting scene.

wonderful location
i like this slow shutter speed
the dark area is underexposure a little bit, maybe it is related to my screen

I really like the composition. It might be a little over saturated for my tastes but a beautiful shot none the less.

What a captivating amphitheater of color and motion! I really enjoy this image Arnab. One of my favorite recent fall images. I'll throw in with the comments about the weight of the dark rocks on the right. It also feels like it has a slight CW rotation. I think it is actually an optical illusion caused by the downward direction of the camera and wide angle lens distortion making the falls look like they are at an angle.

This photo has a nice movement to it, and beautiful autumn color all over. I particularly like the light at the end, thighs everything together.

This is fantastic. I can see shadow details just fine on my monitor. I also like the way it is framed. I wouldn't do a thing to change it.

Arnab,
Gorgeous autumn scenic. The combo of falls and foliage is just beautiful. I would agree with the comment/suggestions about the dark rocks. Looks like this Velvia with the dark shadows and vibrant color. What a beautiful sight.
