Hi Scott, I like the comp very well. It's a trippy place and I think you captured that well here. I do think the image is rather soft even for a JPEG post. Otherwise this is very nice!
Hi Scott,
I wonder whether the Orton effect has given it too much softness to be crisp and too little to be Orton? It might be worth tweaking the pp a little. As for the foreground water, there is a similar issue there....it's a little on the dark side for the milky effect, but perhaps not quite crisp enough for the opposite approach.

Besides the comments above, this is a tough falls to get a good comp. I think this is as good as any I've seen from here.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I was thinking it looked soft as well. Here is version 2.0, which should be much sharper.
