This small pool and waterfall were the reward for 90 minutes of rock scrambling and wading through waist deep water. Luckily there were no saltwater crocodile encounters!

I like the waterfall and colors in this, Tom. But, I'm quite distracted by the blurry rocks underwater caused by the longer exposure and moving water. Perhaps you could play with a tighter crop of the falls to suppress more of those rocks. Otherwise it's a fine shot.

This is such a beautiful place. I love the comp but I am also a bit distracted by the blurry rocks underwater.

Really nice image - it takes a few seconds for my eyes to get used to the out of focus foreground, then realizing it's all underwater. I'll go with the previous comments & suggest some cropping from the bottom.

Looks like an amazing place. I like the foreground rocks. I would have tried a vertical shot here too.

There is a very interesting depth created by the "blurred" foreground compared to the sharp waterfall background. A possible improvement might be some more micro contrast in the deep shadow and ditto for the very bright highlights (esp top middle) - also - is there a slight magenta cast in the shadows? Overall very interesting comp and color.

This is an excellent image Thomas. I like the comp, colors ect but I also find the blur very distracting. When I find myself in a situation like this I take separate exposures and blending them together later.
