    That's definitely an interesting effect. Did you take a few shots with and without blur? Did you try using a diffuser with and without blur to get rid of the harsh shadows and saturate the color more?

    I REALLY like the red that comes through in the browns of the forest floor. Beautiful exposure! My only gripe is the leaf(?) stick(?) in the middle of the lowest cascade. I have been known to move such objects...

    How did you go about producing this shade of black and white? I really like the almost sepia color cast. The lighting must have been quite difficult-- there are a few burned-out highlights in the snow.

    Maybe it's just the low-res image, but this flower demands more depth of field for me-- especially with the black background.

    The difficult part about a sunny day and the forest are all the little "hot spots" of light. The way the sky is completely bleached out and the little white patches on the background trees for example. A possibility for shooting on a day like this would be to look for interesting foreground subjects like this, and then try to find a camera angle that eliminates or minimizes your view of the bright areas. Check out John Shaw's "Nature Photography Field Guide" Awesome book. Very informative and conversational. Good luck!!

    I like the perspective and composition-- you've done a great job of finding an interesting angle in a mature subject. The lighting makes this shot difficult, however. Did you use a tripod? There seems to be an awful lot of camera shake. (blur)

    I hate to say it, but I find the distortion at the edges of the frame rather distracting. I know you found the log interesting, but I have a hard time liking the way it breaks up the lines of the waterfall. The exposure is well done. Did you use a polarizer? There is some reflection off the log that I think could have been minimized.

    The background is more interesting than the foreground in this picture. I'm not sure how you could have adjusted the angle to either isolate one leaf/stem or tackled the background as your subject. I would suggest simplifing the composition. Eliminate as much clutter as possible.
