Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. These falls are a double cascade, but my best image of them is just the lower.

This is an interesting take on the falls. Feels just a bit tight at the bottom. I don't mind not having the top included. the color balance has a cyan/blue tint in the water. Most likely from the shaded light. Overall, feels just a bit underexposed. Both easily corrected in post processing.

I like the perspective and the dark presentation. Also the branches framing the scene from the right work well for me. I think the shadows could be opened up a bit, and the greens could also take some brightening and perhaps saturation. Just some suggestions for some tweaking. I really enjoy this one.

I really like this shot. I think the water is captured well, soft but the bottom gives you a sense of the power from the falls. I thought it was overall a little dark but it's growing on me.

Daniel, What a view!, and that falls is impressive. I like the blue and green colors here very much. I can just imagine the sound! I could see it maybe just a bit brighter but I do love the mood so would not want to go to far with it. Very nice as is.

Daniel,
Impressive job with such a tight composition. This works very well in showcasing the power and force. I really like the addition of the side waterfall too and even that it's broken up by the branches - they don't bother me at all. The larger view is especially good - although it makes even more obvious the dust spots you might want to clean up.
the only suggestion I have would be to boost the whites a little bit and make the falls pop a little more. Doesn't need much, especially given the available light, but something you might play with.
