A beautiful little stream Peter, well seen and captured. The shutter speed works well with that flow and the soft greens and browns are quite lovely. Only suggestion would be to try cropping some off the left edge

Peter, Nice work here. Looks like a wonderful place. I really like how the foreground water is streaking across the rocks. That looks great to me. I think the crop suggestion from Robert would work too.

Just wonderful! I like the contrast between the silky water and the green mosses. I also like that there's so many direction changes in the stream's path. That really keep the image "dancing".

I like your chosen shutter speed here Peter. The mix of earthy tones and greens framing the waterfalls is also very nice.

Nice comp. I follow that stream in to the scene very easily. Maybe clone the white stick?

I'm already waiting for the gorge season to start. Thanks for setting the mood here, Peter. Never been to the Ysperklamm but as my plan is to visit all the gorges of Austria, it will be on my route one day.
The shot is wonderful with a solid composition. The colors are muted which give it a very real look and feel. Some highlight issues in the water but no big deal really. The suggestion of Tony to clone out the stick might be worth a second thoughts. I rarely clone and try to get rid of annoying object on location, but sometimes you can't go to all the places or just forget.

Peter,

Nice choice with the square crop - everything seems well balanced and consequently a strong composition. This is a lovely scene. I thought about a crop from the left, but then abandoned that because I like the earth tones and texture below the water's surface in the LLC and how the stream fans out at the bottom. Well done.
