Waht a gorgeous view. I like the way you concentrated on the details of the rocky cascades and the surrounding lush vegetation. Wondering what the view is like above here -- where all that water is coming from -- adds to the interest of this composition. Obviously a long shutter speed, but I like the textures that are still preserved where the water flows over the rocks.

I like the SS and the greens are awesome. I find myself wanting a little more room at the top. Beautiful spot.

Hi Chet!

This is a pretty image with deep and rich greens. Well done. The only thing that I can think of is to experiment with dodging in the dark areas in the left-center and upper-right.

Love the greens and the feeling of freshness. My gut feel is to want to get even closer to it, more "into" it. I think it's because of those deep greens, they are so inviting. What happens if you crop off the falls completely and just concentrate on the vertical water? Just wondering, it's nice as it is, and very inviting. :toast:

Cool shot Chet. All the moss covered rock looks great and I like the flow of water here.

I love the POV here along with those lush greens. This has a real nice flow to it, Chet.

Love the moss covered rocks, the lush greens and the details and structures in the flowing water. I'm not queit sure about the comp.....it somehow feels flat to me and I would like to see some more at the top...but that's maybe just me.
