Beautiful Sandy. I love the bright colorful leaves against the dark rugged rock. The waterfall provides the icing on the cake.

A beautiful and peaceful fall image. I like the composition, the waterfall to the right balances the leaves on the left. It makes me want to be be there.

Sandy, you positioned yourself in the sweet spot for framing the cascade. Great colors and tricky long exposure, especially when it may not be dead calm. Wondering if tilting downward or zooming out might work to allow more of the FG foliage as an anchor, just a thought.

Beautiful fall scene, Sandy.  It makes me wish I was there too!  Great shot, and would look good on the cover of a magazine!  No nits here.

This is very pretty, Sandy. A nice delicate looking falls and the autumn color is wonderful.

Sandy,

Just a gorgeous autumn image.  The delicate presence of the cascade really makes this image, but of course the framing of the fall trees is just as important.  Beautifully seen and captured.

Not a critique of the image, but personally the red stroke around the frame detracts from the image, imho.  Although I certainly understand the intent to pull out the reds in the image.

Sandy

This is such a nice fall image.  I especially like the shutter speed you chose.  It rendered the water quite nicely.

Best

Excellent image, Sandy. Maybe it's my monitor, since no one else suggested it, but I would pull back the saturation just a point or two.devil

Really strong composition. Despite all the color and action, the overall feel is calm and balanced

I like the comp in how the water is framed by the autumn trees.  Suggestions from my personal tastes would be to warm the white balance for the rock and water and reduce the saturation for the leaves
