I recently discovered this small waterfall on the internet & had to go find it for myself. Really nice location but the lighting can be an issue as so many of our days are sunny here in AZ. This particular day was overcast so that helped out a bit. Due to the sun's position I got a little flare up toward the tree but my processing skills aren't good enough yet to fix it. Comments & critiques welcome!

Always nice to find running water here in AZ, looks like a beautiful little fall! I think I might like to see a tighter comp here, especially with the "white out" sky. Maybe a more intimate shot of the falls with the vegetation, concentrating on the section of the canyon that is in shadow? Looks like some pretty tough conditions you had but the scene warrants a return visit.

I would agree that this scene looks more suited to an intimate, a lot of not too attractive stuff in the foreground, then you can focus on the water.
