The larger version shows off the details much better, but does look a bit over sharpened. The little splashes on the rocks in the back, the nice greens in the upper left, and bit of outflow at the bottom are nice additions to the main fall.

Not too dark, the darkness emphasizes the beauty of the water in the center. I really like the little guys in back; I'd keep them. The large version does seem a tad sharp, but no biggy. The smaller version is perfect on my monitor.

Very nice scene and I like this as is. The large version does appear to be over sharpened.

I can feel the spray hitting me in the large version Danny! The oversharpening has already been mentioned. Turn it down just a tad.

Pretty--I like the way that the FG rocks glisten.

This is exceptionally nice. I like, in particular, the misty spray and the moss clinging to the rocks.

A strong and balanced composition for me, Danny. Your choice of shutter speed is spot on to my eye. I really enjoy the details of the wet rock surfaces.

The larger version is a bit oversharpened, but the smaller one is alright in my opinion.

The light here is perfect 'cept could maybe see burning the ULC a bit. Really liking the textures created by the reflection off the water.

Certainly not too dark IMO. I really lilke the square crop. A lot to see in this, but the focal point brings everything together so nicely.

This is very nice Danny. A great looking place and you captured the feel of this so well. The large version does look a little to sharp but the small one looks perfect to me!. I like all the small falls in the bg alot too! Looks like they could make a nice shot on their own. Cool shot!
