Cool patterns and I like how the sun is reflecting off the stagnant pools of water. Both images seem quite soft though, you can probably fix that with some web sharpening Nicely seen!

I too like this shot a lot.

I too think it looks a bit soft.

The repetitions and abstract quality of this is very appealing. With that in mind, the "softness" seems to work OK, I think.

I like the layers and the softness in the wave action created by the long exposure. That contrasts nicely with the stronger runoff regions.

i like this but agree that for our (web-based) enjoyment, this could be sharper!

Thanks to all for your wonderful critique
I have sharpened it in Topaz in focus
The waves crashing over the rocks and the rocks only being visible for short period's of time
causes the slight softness you are experiencing in the photo

Love your composition, with the numerous rock shelves and the flowing water. Beautiful.

Yes the contrast between sharpness and blur is more effective. You've isolated the patterns very well here.

I like the soft look - looks like a watercolor painting. Not every photograph has to fit into the same "ultra sharp near to far" box. It's nice to see someone do something different for a change.

Well composed, Avi, and I like your choice of shutter speed for the falls.
