Lovely rendition of Proxy Danny. I would really like to see a bit more water in the centre, seems a bit empty?

Does indeed look like a creature. Nice composition!

An interesting composition for me with diverse focal points. The foreground rock at the bottom is one of them and it anchores the image aptly to me. The numerous cascades make for a nice rhythm to my eye.

I am considering whether the upper and lower part would allow two distinct images. Although putting them together as you did results in a creative image in my opinion.

Neat shot. I like the idea of a one-eyed algae/moss monster eyeing the orange leaf.

I see it, Danny. And it's kind of freaking me out, to tell you the truth. Wonderful composition.

I wouldn't get too close. I think he's drooling. Love the mood here, the moss covered rocks add a muted feel to those beautiful falls, Nice work

I wish you hadn't said "creature." I was enjoying this and not that's all I see :frown:

Another good one! Being fall and such, maybe the less intense green is normal. I could see a little less yellow, and more green anyway though. I'm sure glad there seems to be good amount of water come over it still. Nice!

Nice rendition of proxy. The greens seem a bit off as Chris mentioned, and the blown highlights on the left are a slight distraction. Minor nits really.

Really good and effectively captured. I agree that the water looks like a creature.

Seems way too yellow to me. I'd work the greens out much more. Not sure what happened with that, but compositionally this looks quite nice. I know it's tough to get close here but this appeals to me. I might loose the jumbled foreground just a little bit but for those of us not from the NW, I'm sure it's hard to get enough of that moss.
