That's a neat intimate scene. Good composition and processing. No nits from me.

Personally, my preference is for your color version. For this black and white, I'd suggest more contrast, a darkening of the water - but that's my taste.

I think Buck has a good idea on darkening the water, but this is very nice even without any further edits. It has a great range of textures and tones.

Solid shot, Danny with great exposure on the water and nice detail everywhere.

Danny,

Excellent near/far comp of these cascades; wonderfully composed.

I have no nits, but do have a suggestion. Personally, I would like to see the shadow values dropped a little bit; if anything just to slightly darken the lower 3/5th's. But the b&w is looking pretty good as is. Very nice capture.
