I'm a sucker for waterfalls.  I hate to see a building & blown sky (I'd have tried a grad).  I love the mini falls in the lower left.  This looks like a beautiful place.  My suggestion would be to eliminate all the clutter and concentrate on the falls & green.  I have not been to this place; is it possible to isolate the falls from a different angle?  And perhaps include a foreground element?

I hate the sky too, but one of the problems when shooting in Hawaii is that there are certain place that never get a blue sky...this is one of those places, not far frpm Hilo, the raniest city in the US.

Also this was taken on E6 and scanned, much more difficult to modify as a relatively low-res JPG.  There is a lot that I see that I would spruce up if this were RAW, for one thing it would have a significantly wider DR which would help improve the overall look to the photo.

Yes Jamie, there is lots of detail and color in the slide.  Unfortunately it did not come out in the scan.  I scanned it in 2002 with an older scanner; I certainly did not think at the time how well it could be digitally reproduced.
