I like the greens and the composition with the stream winding down through the frame. I'd consider cropping a little bit off the right to exclude the green moss covered rock and the dark shadows above it.

I think I would have liked to see the water blurred a bit more and crop just to the left of the clump of moss on the right.

Steven,
This is quite the lovely and refreshing scene. I think the water and shutter speed work very well here; just enough blur for some nice movement, yet not so long you run in to washing out and losing detail in the whites. I might be inclined to agree with a crop from the right, but that is minor really. Good color and a nice flow to the composition. Well done.

That's a stream I'm unfamiliar with. Super greens. I like the idea of taking away some of the empty lrc. The suggested crop sounds like a good idea. Moving to the left and closer to the falls might have also had a nice effect?
