My first post
This is my first post!, I have been lurking here for awhile. This is a picture of my favorite waterfall in the coast range, it is a seldom seen place as there are no trails or signs that let you know this falls exist. Please feel free to let me know what you think.

Greetings, Wade. By making the log a central part of the composition here, I think it works nicely as a contrast to the falls. Usually logs in waterfalls make for distractions, but not here IMO. Exposure and color looks good to me. I gotta love the fact this gem is hidden away off the beaten path.

I think the only suggestion I would have is brighten the greens a bit.

Yes brighten the greens----great choice of shutter speed as well.

Welcome Wade! Great little falls. My thoughts line up with the above, especially that form of water spray being rather attractive.

Welcome to the forum Wade! I echo what's been said except for.. The branch in front of the falls. IMHO, it's kind of distracting. It may be just a matter of taste.
