I like the colors, the cascades and the blur of the water. I am just not sure about the composition. It feels like you have two different pictures. One of the foreground and one of the waterfall and they are fighting for my attention. I personally would like to see more of the waterfall. It also feels a little dark to me, especially the rocks in the waterfall.

It feels like the waterfall is too tight at the top, and the FG a bit too dominating in the shot. The shutter speed has rendered the water nicely, but the comp seems off. Maybe there was a reason to cut off more of the falls? I might have concentrated on the ferns on the bank and the water behind. Just too busy for me.

I think the comp is too tight at least on the top. The foreground doen't do so much here for me. I love the greens, though but also would like to more glow on it. The shutter speed for the water looks perfect to me. All together I think the image is not well balanced and the comp doen't work for me really well

This does feel too tight at the top, and I'd like t see more detail in the darks, especially in the foreground. The tones in the water look pretty good.
