Gregory,

I like the mood and the falls, but for my taste there is too much distracting vegetation. I also find that the falls don't lend themselves to the standard 3:2 format, so I cropped them a little bit. Not perfect (I went back and forth a couple of times), but maybe something worth considering.

Lots of this kind of stuff around so it's a delight to find one that stands out from the crowd. Gorgeous tones, plenty of detail and interest in the leaves, and the oh-so-silky-smooth texture of the water, whilst still retaining enough detail to keep the sensation of movement. Great pic, really well taken. Thanks for posting.

The rendition of water is beautiful and I like the foliage too. Thank you for your rating.

I think you nailed the exposure.  Falls are often difficult due to heavy contrast between sun highlights on water & rocks and dark shade in deep recesses.

This does seem a bit busy.  While I am generally not a fan of cropping, I can see that you have several great images within this single one.  E.g. a vertical on the right, a horizontal mid-left.

Thanks for sharing this place; I will visit it if ever I am that way.

Regards, Jeff
