I like the color play between the greens, reds, and shadow blues, and the flowers set up against the falls is a very nice touch. The brightness near the top is a bit overpowering for me, but I like the overall flow throughout the image.

Beautiful falls and pink flowers. The pink flower directly on top of the silky water is my favorite part. But I agree with Greg that the bit of sky is overpowering. Actually I would recommend moving your camera up a foot or two and tilting the camera down a little so that you get all the flowers but no sky in the frame.

Robert, I have a few shots from this location from a higher level, it is truly a wonderful waterfall. I really like your composition, like others, I do find the highlights too strong however.

I like that veil of blue tinted water... makes for a great backdrop against those wonderful fg colors. I like the subtle "s" curve that runs along the outer fringes of the fg vegetation from the LLC up to the URC. The upper sky doesn't bother me one way or another, but I could also imagine other compositions or times of day that may work as well. Nice work!
