Very nicely done, Daniel. In addition to the vibrancy of the foliage I am really digging the texture and luminosity of the water.

Daniel, I appreciate how the delictae ferns contrast the sense of motion. A consistent composition in my opinion, with the vertical elements in the background anchoring the image in an uncommon way.

I find the composition to have a distinct elegance to it, Daniel. This attracted me instantly about this image. The elements are so beautifully placed into the frame. Hard to top something like this! A great shot!

Very impressive detail Daniel, everything looks so fresh. The saturation is spot on.

Very nice. I love the lushness and vibrance - also a nice composition, although I wish there was a little more room on the left.

I really like the balance here with the bright greens and the silky water. The falls nearly hidden in the background adds a lot to the balance.

Very nice. I feel like this is a staircase winding into the scene. Strong comp and light.

The wonderful greens and details in the ferns complemented by the delicate structure in the water make for an outstanding image, Daniel. Really well done.

There is a harmonious balance in the placement of the varying shapes, textures and tones of the foliage, as well as a graceful lead-in of the water. I agree with Bill re wanting a touch more room on the left.
