This is a different take with the falls being obscured. The shapes of the trees and colors caught my eyes.

Erik, this is really nice. I like the mystery and leading of my eye into the rock at the bottom of the falls. The water fall almost looks like a tribute light beam like that seen in NYC for the towers. Very cool!

I agree wih AJ comments. An interesting composition with a lot of mystery.

Sweet, Erik!
See where the rocks not far from the falls disappear into the trees? I'd crop to there from the bottom. I think the bottom right now, "grounds" the photo and I don't think you want it grounded. You would remove a frame of reference without the bottom, allowing to the photo to float and be more mystical.

I like it..but can you tone down the Cyan color of the water....

Love it and agree with the cyan in the water comment. I like Mark's crop suggestion also - the bottom 1/8th of the photo isn't necessary - but crop at the bottom of the rock "V"... that way there is a little "grounding" as well.
AWESOME !!

Pretty nice Erik. I could go either way on the crop suggestions, but it is also nice as is.

Thanks for the comments folks. On my calibrated monitor, i don't see alot of cyan, not enough to make much of a difference IMHO. I appreciate the comments and when I go to print this up, I will watch the color cast. Mark, Thanks for the crop suggestion. I'll play with it.

I vote for leaving it just like it is.

Lovely image. I vote for the grounding, but I wonder if you thought of cropping the last tree at the left.
