The water brings me through the image perfectly. So lush. The stray log and boulders are nice touches. Very well done.

Beautiful flow and positioning of the rocks and log Daniel. Great exposure for the water also. Great job on this. :toast:

Love the flow, water motion, and vibrant greens Daniel. There are a few hot spots in the falls. I don't know if would have worked here, but I try to meter the brightest spot in the scene (in live view, I move the rectangle to that spot) then bring up the shadows in LR5. None-the-less, this is a gorgeous scene.

You did a really nice job with this, great viewpoint and knowing the location, not easy.
The water swirls you through the image and a nice FG anchor.

Great flow (pun intended) to this image Daniel, And those gorge greens are beautiful of course! I too noticed the hot spots Eva mentioned, but they're minor. I'd try to tone them down if possible, but definitely not a deal breaker. Really nice comp!

Really nice flow and lines throughout the image. I like the detail in the foreground moss and the interesting pattern in the foreground water. Plenty of things going on for your eye to just wander around in the image, very well done. :toast:
