The fog really adds a depth and mood to the photo. Nice.

The front falls are great, and then I notice the cascade further back, and that sets this off.. Great flow (pun intended) with the stream and the fog does add a great element!.

I agree that the fog adds tremendously to the mood of this image, and the upper falls is fantastic. For me, the lower 2/3 of the image could use a bit more contrast and sharpening, even for this foggy atmosphere. Well seen.

The wide-angle makes for quite a comp. It maybe seems a bit too warm given the conditions, but color balance is a very personal choice, so go with what you like.

Great!

I would cool the white balance though

GSMNP, one of my favorite places. Like the image, especially the second waterfall in the background and the nice soft light to go with the fog. Not so sure about the trunk going through the top of the frame. Still this is a nice image.
