The light and ss gives this image a unique sense of motion. Nice, well balanced comp. Excellent image.

I would consider cropping the lower part of the falls, pool area. My eye was immediately drawn to the upper falls and the beautiful light to the right. I scrolled my screen down and the image I believe is much more dramatic without the pool. Nice capture.Stunning light in the middle right area.

You handled the difficult light condition very well.

Beautiful light Daniel. The dappled light in the FG pool really makes this unique.

I think this photo is awesome. I love the way you captured the milky flow of the water, and the light is perfect:)

Dan this is very nice. You did a great job of handling the DR for (seemingly) a single exposure. The water has a nice effect that borders on surreal, but nicely so.

Daniel,

This is just gorgeous! Fantastic job handling the light/exposure. The central part of the scene has bit of a dreamy/Orton look to it - which in this case no matter what's going on, just adds to the overall beauty of this capture. Outstanding job, I love this.

A beautiful waterfall shot Daniel. The greens have a wonderful glow, and I love how they are reflected in the water. The very top falls seem brighter than the rest, but it does draw the eye up the image and of course this would be a natural occurrence of dappled light. Large version is great.

Outstanding, Daniel, but I would crop off most of the bottom pool - the dappled light or highlights there immediately drew my eye and distracted from the amazing scene above.

No easy feat to pull off here, Daniel and I really like the result! Wow! Just look at that luscious glow!

Great dreamy processing, the pool at the bottom makes it unique.

Difficult blend here, I can see. Great job with the harsh light! I like the spotted light in the foreground...

I love the shutter speed & just enough blur in the water to smooth it out without losing detail and a sense of motion. You've toned down the dappled light & it really adds to the photo in my opinion. Well done!
