The colors and tones here are great. Levels and exposure as well.
For me though, something doesn't gel with the composition. Can't quite put my finger on it. Almost seems like it's 3 pictures stitched. Have the bottom 1/3 with the cascading water and moss covered boulders. That bottom 1/3 to me could be it's own photo. Really nice. The fall at the top 1/3 distracts me from what I want to look at....the bottom 1/3. The large green middle mass is cool, but just seems as a divider.
Hope this doesn't come off too harsh. I think you've captured a beautiful scene very nicely. I just love that bottom 1/3 more than the rest. Would also like to see a larger version.

Danny, This is very nice! Lots to look at and full of detail and nice color. I do especially like the bottom half of this but the whole scene works for me as well. The mid-ground moss covered rock looks pretty cool and looks to have some wonderful detail. The upper falls looks like a place to spend some time as a stand alone image. Maybe you did that too. Nice work Danny!

Nice! Beautiful color and conditions here. I like the scene pretty well as a whole. If anything, I might think the background cascade is a little too obscure. But not really!

Really enjoy the colors and detail in this Danny. The middle rock splits it a bit but not a deal breaker as it adds mystery to the back falls. Nice job on this.
