Nice composition and light. The textures here are really nice. Could maybe see adding a bit more saturation.

I agree with Tony. It's difficult to get any sense of scale, which makes it interesting!

A strong and impressive composition Danny, I enjoy the colors starting with the warm shades at the top and varying until to the coldness of the water at the bottom, thus resembling the flow of the fall! The shutter speed is perfect to show the dynamic.

Well captured, Danny. I like the view that provides the tiny upper tier that makes us look deeper into the scene overall. I also think a slight boost of sat / contrast maybe to provide a bit of lift to the scene. That of course is very subjective and can be adjusted to personal preference. Otherwise very nice.

I also like the comp and the water motion in this. And I agree, that all though a personal preference, a touch more sat would work more for me.

The more I look at this the more I like it - the color in the water and top background is very soothing and nicely complementary. Looks like a very interesting place. I would suggest you try pushing the saturation on the top orange color a tad - to emphasize the relationship between the colors.

From the thumbnail, I didn't think this was going to be very engaging, but it is! Nice composition, and color in the golden light, and foreground pool. I agree, a little more color too.
