Make a few images, well.

Very nice comp with the rock diagonals creating a more dynamic character. I also like the subtle textures you've preserved in the lights and shadows.

Vance, this a is very appealing composition to me, I especially enjoy the variety of cascades. Although one might tend to present this scene in b&w, the colors add a lot in my opinion. I just think of reducing the saturation a bit, as there is a slight magenta cast viewing on my monitor.

Really like this. very effective yet simple composition. Lot going on to keep the viewer interested. The diagonals behind the falls add a nice contrast to the vertical water.

Vance, This is a beautiful waterfall picture. It's a great looking falls and I do like those diagonal rock lines as Tony mentioned. The lower part of this falls reminds me of a picture I shot at Gooseberry Falls on the north shore of Lake Superior, but here I like what the upper part adds to this one. I do see a little magenta cast as Peter mentioned but it still looks good. The rock might actually have that cast naturally and the reflected light could show in the falling water I guess, so probably a matter of taste. I like the shutter speed you captured this at. Very cool shot!

Beautiful, Vance. I love the way the falls look like light beams from the sky. And such a sweet series of cascades. Sweet image.

Love this comp, Vance! I love the repeating, opposing diagonals, and just that little bit of the foreground to stop the water from going out of the image. I do agree about toning down the color cast a little bit, though.

Thank you everyone for your comments. The color cast was not obvious to me, maybe from staring at this image for way too many hours. I have attached a repost in which I have attempted to rectify the color cast problem. Hopefully it works. Would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks.

Although the repost may be a more accurate rendition of reality, I like the fairy book look to the original. I thought it was more creative.

Vance: I do think the repost is a slight improvement but there isn't much room for improvement on this one to begin with. Beautiful subject superbly captured and rendered.>=))>

Outstanding image, Vance. With or without the color cast, it is very close to ideal. Just beautifully done.
