An image shot last fall when the streams were peaking with the fall rains. I liked the dappled light and wild flow in this scene. Crappy name I know.

All C&C welcome. Thanks for all the comments on the last image they are greatly appreciated.

I love the flow you captured. Good choice of shutter speed, the water is lovely. To my eye, it seems to be tilted a bit to the right(?)
I think this is a very cool shot.

Lovely shot.. you might consider cropping about half of the green on the bottom, so it "echoes" the width of the green at the top. Thus, framing the water nicely..

Great curves and just enough detail in the water. I also would consider a slight crop at the bottom.

Beautifully composed scene Bill, very nice color and light, and your exposure couldn't be any better. Nice mood, I can almost hear the water rushing over the rocks. Well done.

The overall scene is a real winner no doubt, but the various points of light here and there really makes this one work, Bill.

The PP looks exceptional and the water has a cool look to it.
I also think it needs a biit of CCW rotation and also a bit off the bottom.

Great use and handling of the dappled light, Bill, and the flowing water is pure wonder in my opinion. The hints of light and dark in the water, together with the motion, is superb. Exceptional.

The flow is indeed great and your shutter speed choice shows it well. I'd like to see this one without the mossy rock at the bottom.

Really liking the dynamic nature of this one. The water looks a bit hdr'ish but like it here. Nice work.

This has an interesting luminous quality without going over the top to my eye

A touch of the HDR to the water, but it works well to show the textures and movement. Very nice color, and the tonal balance is excellent. Beautiful image.

Bill, You came up with a very interesting composition for this image and I think it works great. I really like how the flow of the water goes through this scene along with some wonderful textures.

This is such a nice composition that I have to agree that the high degree of local contrast/tone mapping appearance of the water detracts a bit for me (I have a tendency to do the same to emphasize the water texture)

Fascinating flows Bill, well-captured. The contrast of the two directions makes for appealing tension. Perfect water texture for my tastes

This is really cool looking, Bill. All the little twists and turns of the falls are very striking IMO. I love the textures in the water along with your SS choice. All around wonderful image.
