I think about a third less rocks. Interesting idea.

I see what you mean about the rocks.. I took maybe a quarter inch off the bottom of the original. The river there has a very rakish slope to it - very swift. I took my camera on a couple and purposely leveled the stream, and it does make it look more "normal" I suppose...
Without looking forward at others comments, I screen cropped out about 1/3 of the rocks in the FG and wished it were rotated a bit. Something of all you is beginning to rub off on me.
I really like the second post. If I were to continue to pick, I'd wish for a little more color value in the foreground rocks - but it's beautiful. That river color is fantastic isn't it?
Hi, Ned! Sure like this. Nice lacey looking falls, the green swift river and the rocks at the bottom. A thought... How about darkening those rocks just a tad, as if you had used a gnd? And yes, the 2nd post is better; the guys had a good idea on that crop.
I love the 2nd shot. If this was mine, I'd clone away the naked twig branch at the top to the Right of the water. It really is calling a lot of attention to itself and without it, it would be so much stronger, imo. Some people don't believe in doing any pruning to a photo, but I do in cases like this.
