Holy awesome light. That orange glow on the water is killer. Comp looks solid. However for more drama I would get damn close to those cascades and get one up in the viewers face. Looks like some great chances in there. Nice take away here :)

I really need to get over there (from Ohio) one of these springs. This is beautiful.

Great light on the water with just enough detail in the cascade. I might try a little less saturation in the background greens to keep them from pulling the eye out of the scene.

This is beautiful Michael. That glow on the water is wonderful, as is your comp. I love the spring feel you captured with this, and think you made a fantastic image that really works.

Fantastic composition here, Michael. I especially like the perspective which showcases the fantastic cascade. The vibrant greens top this off. Great work!!

Beautiful water action Michael, I think I agree with Lori on the saturation in the background. I especially like the warm light / color in the mid ground.

The greenery is the background is a great compliment to the scene, and the varying cascades are a joy to explore!

Michael: Not sure if I like the water action or the reflected color more. Beautiful scene superbly captured.>=))>

Michael, your image really keeps my attention! The dynamics of the falls is impressively presented, especially together with the glowing tones in the midground. I thought of reducing the saturation in the background too, but on the other hand the green shades add an interesting counterpoint to the cascades. Great as it is!

Wonderful comp Michael!! Looks like you were right in the middle of this stream. Lovely glow on the surface. Great foreground intro.

Great comp, color saturation, and SS. That looks like a great place to visit at different times of the year for varying foliage, water flows, etc. Nice job.

This is superbly presented, Mike. The warm glow in the rushing water compliments the lush greens of the forest beautifully and the multitude of cascades are particularly striking.

This is being super picky, but what do you think of a very small crop from the top to get rid of the bright spot just to the right of center?

Superb set of falls Michael. I love the way the falls are laid out, and the texture is perfect. As noted, the color on the stream water really adds.
