Nice pictured, which is well exposed with some very nice motion blurring of the waterfall.

 

It has lines leading to the waterfall, although i would also try a different crop, so that the waterfall is somewhere on the rules of thirds.

 

Well Done,

Ben

The only part I'm not crazy about is the immediate foreground.  It's just not very interesting and lends very little to the photo other than context.  I'm not sure what I would do, however, because the large stone on the left limits the foreground possibilities from this particular spot.

 

I get the feeling this is a man-made dam that has been breached.  These stones look as if they have been laid and cemented together.  The "rock" on the left is probably a section of this dam, and the colorful stains on the right are the result of water seeping through, perhaps in the presence of iron bars used in the construction of the dam.  Am I close?

I'd crop the bottom sixth off the photo, the dry rocks are distracting.  Well done on the motion blur of the waterfall.

Great composure, Lenear!

I like the color palate and the slow exposure really accentuates the waterfall.

 

great work!

Lenear, I think there is a really good photo in there somewhere. Try cropping it in 5 different ways to see which you prefer. Also you might back off on the color saturation a bit. Regards, Bernie

This is an attractive place. Just cropping, thats all I can think of. Photography being the art of exclusion, verses, the painter, the art of inclusion, one option would have been to exclude the light foreground low mortared rock, keeping only the stacks of rock on the left, but filling the frame with water only, or cropping at the water line. The eye goes right to the waterfall, so its important to support that by exploring options. This is where we need to slow down, I move to fast sometimes too, and miss stuff.
