I really like this. The water texture is perfect, and all the lush greens make this a very inviting scene. Wonderful!

Your comp really gives me a feeling for the rush of this waterfall. It's like the green forest is trying to calm the water from rushing, but it can't be done. :smile:

Daniel, you captured the flow of the stream intriguingly for me. The image allows me an immediate experience of the scene and atmosphere.

Well done Daniel. You really put the viewer within the scene and those greens are so calming.

The lush nature of the gorge never ceases to amaze me. It looks like a difficult place to compose, and I think you've done a nice job. Your exposure looks dead on.

I can almost hear this one, Daniel. I really like the comp and textures here and the dynamism of the diagonals.

Very well done. The water movement is perfect however I would prefer to see this image not cropped as much.

Love the lush greens! The composition works very well too - I like the flow of lines from bottom to top. My eye is well drawn into the scene.

Great composition, great level of detail, stunning colors. There are so many different forest elements in this frame, but still, it doesn't look confusing or distracting. What's not to like? :toast:
