Beautiful little falls, Michael. I love the SS here. Perfect for this flow, at least for me. The only things I would suggest are, burn the brighter holes above the falls, and clone the leaves top right. Both very minor. I spent a lot of time with the large and enjoyed every minute.

I like the comp and scene, Michael. Well taken. Looks like a tricky exposure in this shady spot, but well handled. The water has some loss of detail, but overall looks nice. Maybe a bit cyan to my eye. Overall, a beautiful scene.

A beautiful scene and a nicely-balanced composition. I might brighten the shadows just a bit and reduce the blue in the water.

Michael, What an interesting place and I'm really enjoying the large view. Wonderful lush greens and a great looking falls. The water might be a bit blue/cyan but I actually like the looks of it that way. Cool shot!

Nice falls and nice comp of them. The image looks quite cyan heavy to my eye and I would either rescue the white whites or clone in a bit of faint detail in those areas (see thread at CANP if you don't know what I mean).

Very nicely composed, Michael. It is quite peaceful. I suggest that you clone out the two sticks forming the 'x' on the left, and perhaps bringing up the darks just wee bit. You might also consider pulling back on the cyan in the water, as well. The shadow detail definitely comes across better in the large version.

Hey, you have been hiding this one, Mike. The large version showcases the lush greens and the series of cascades beautifully. My only suggestion would be to reduce the cyan in the water just a bit and to tone down a couple of the highlights in the water. We have to get up there this fall for a couple of days.
