Cool scene, some nice light--but im not totally sold on B&W here, i think it robs the scene of some depth by making it harder to differentiate things. Color?
EDIT: after staring at this a bit more, i think it may not be the B&W that is bugging me, it could be the fact that the overhang runs right down to the stream (the shot is basically a 50/50 comp) so that blocks the depth--a lower vantage might have worked better. I kind of like the B&W, but it would be interesting to compare.

Very rich, Mitch. The tones and textures here are exquisite.

Very nice b/w image Mitch. I really like how the water flows diagonally through the scene. I agree with Stan about the visual tension created by the overhanging branch. For some reason my eye really wants to explore what is behind the branch.
