Hi gregory, as a simple landscape its picturesque, would not mind living there myself actually.  All the colours look natural and the whole place is inviting.

However, yes and there is a 'However', may I make a couple of suggestions that you could look out for in the future.  Firstly this is obviously a wide angle photo and the problem here are the slanting trees.  Rotating the image to the right would obviously cause the left side to move inwards, but if you strike a balance here it would be better than what we see at the moment. To minimize this effect even more it would be a good idea to crop out the far left hand tree at the same time.  Keeping the waterfall at a perfect horizontal would improve this image enormously I believe.  The hut also would look more natural.  Alternatively, if you have photoshop, you could use the transform tool to widen the top 1/3 of the photo so that the top left and top right points extend beyond the canvas.  The EDIT TRANSFORM PERSPECTIVE tool would actually be better and would not be too obvious to the viewer, to access this you must copy the background layer and work on the copy, then flatten.  Hope this helps.

I had not really noticed the waterfall was not level, thanks for pointinting that out.  THat is easy enough to fix in ACR.  Thanks for the contribution.
