Tight on left side
Your standard icon shot...but I never processed this one till recently. The slight rainbow on the right adds a nice gold glow scene I think.

The lone tree was my go-to. Sorry if I missed the point of your composition Rick.

The blues in the shadows of the falls look really strong to me, I'd tone that down a bit. I also think it is weighted a little too heavily to the right, needs a bit more balance.

Crop out the whole top half. It makes a nice graphic and then it doesn't matter if it's lopsided.

Very powerful scene, and I do like the gold glow. I'm with Mark. This might have more soul if it focused in on the glow, the bottom section of the falls and the lines/light/shadow in the foreground.

Lousy trip - but the image looks pretty good!

I agree with the blue on the far left being a bit strong. Other than that, I like the comp as is.

Rick,
This one is only hitting the spike meter about halfway for me. I think it looks a tad over processed. I do like the depth of it.
