My opinion is that the vegetation in the foreground is appropriate and there is no reason to be distracted by it unless you have Attention Deficit Disorder. But one way I think you can improve these rainy day photos in the future is to use a polarizing filter to enrich the greens and reduce the wet glare from the leaves.

I recently went up here and did some shooting.....still working on the images before I post them but one thing I would like to see in your picture is the tops of the two trees to the right of the falls..
I too put the same leaves in my foreground so I dont think they are distracting...but I hate seeing things cut off....Just my 2 cents worth...

The falls are starting to get a nice vertical drop to them. I know those branches are unavoidable, and they really do not bother me at all. Good work!

Thanks for the comments. BTW, I did use a polarizer!
My only nit is with the top of the falls. It looks like it's pouring out of the side of the tree. Probably impossible to avoid. Otherwise it's nicely executed.
