I like it. Is this Latourell? I've found it hard to compose an effective shot there. I like the lines in this (the bridge, the path, and then also the waterfall and stream creating an intersecting line) but that's also what makes it feel a bit busy for me. My eye crosses the bridge and goes up and to the left instead of following the water. As a result, it feels kind of split in two. Maybe that's just me because I know where the bridge and path lead?

I don't remember seeing many B&W images from here and I like the treatment, especially in the stream and falls. I do wish that bridge lined up better with the falls, but the path curving to the right past the bridge helps.

I like the lines and the water texture or 'color' in contrast with the b/w. Nicely done.

Nicely done. I like the b&w treatment and the way you composed it so the path leads into the falls.
