I really like the colors here, Ricardo. The blue and magenta make a nice contrast to the vivid greens. Detail is excellent too.

Ricardo, I really like the almost rainbow colors in the mist from the waterfall. Great colors.

really nice contrast...between the blues and greens and between the detail in the trees and the mistyness of the falls...works very well for me

This is a stunning image. Really fantastic colors. And I agree with the color contrast, the blues make an interesting contrast to the greens. I like the mistyness of the falls here. Well composed.

What crazy colors! Wicked. The barkless part of the tree on the left side is catching my eye and although I know the trees are leaning I still want to see a bit of a cw rotation as the bg looks leaning too. Minor nits. Overall lovely indeed.

I love the mist and soft colours and just a hint of the falls below. It's a minor niggle but I wish the left-hand tree went to the top of the frame instead of disappearing off the LHS.

I'm gonna go with everyone and compliment you on the colors! I love the mysterious feeling of wanting to see more of this waterfall. A great prelude!

Sweet! I feel like I'm there.
Now how do I get the mist off the inside of my monitor?

Thanks to all for the feedback!

@Aaron: Thanks. I always use a bubble level, it seems tilted but is not actually. I´ll try a CW rotation and see how it looks.

@Julian: Thanks. I decided to go with this composition because if i had to include the entire tree a little piece of sky was visible at the top left corner wich i dont wanted to include in the composion.

I'm not sure about the branch sticking through the ULC of the frame but I like everything else about this. Very powerful.
