I like this. I wish there wasn't quite as much open space in the upper left part of the image that doesn't have much going on, but I like the elements. It's different, a unique perpective, and it's exposed well.
I like it Ned. It's like a privileged peek into a private world. The ulc would look better if it had some ferns or somethingÉÊBut I sure favor the comp overall: the fg rock in focus, others painted over by the flowing water; the triangular window in the rock wall leading to a triangular rock with really interesting light on it. It almost looks metallic. And then to top it off there's your signature cascade looking so COOL as always.
It's a sweet shot Ned, I love it! It has mystery and mood. It's not perfect... I wish the upper hlaf of the FG had more detail, but it doesn't ruin the image. Send me my print!

Ned...My eye is lost....when I first opened this my eye was doing a "Z" down the image...
I kind of feel like I am laying on my belly peeking through the rocks......I like it
The elements in the bottom half are nice - I especially like the idea of the water flowing over wood, different kinds of rock and moss. For me, the eye should move from the round stone in the LLC to the log, and finally to the rounded rock in the middle of the waterfall. Cropping the top below that patch of bright moss along the UL edge would help my eye fix on that focal point -- all of the mossy stuff in the upper two corners kind of pulls you away from that.
