Beautiful colors of moss and rhythm of water through the image. Did you consider cropping below just the little bit of light at the top of the falls? Wonderful, lush scene.

Very nice Daniel! I like how you have burned and dodged here to create more drama and draw focus to the waterfalls and the soft glow coming off the moss really adds to the mood.One very small nit would be to clone or crop crop the white spot at the top of the image.

Nice stark winter feel and very nice water texture.
I might just clone the small light above the falls.

Nice composition, color, light and the shutter speed worked very well for the water blur. Fine image.

Wow! This is the second posting tonight where I've been prompted to say "as good as it gets!" I love the dark areas complimented by the highlighted areas. Simply superb crafting of your image. I notice a small brighter area right on the top edge, center. It looks like a tiny bit of overcast sky poking thru. Also, on the right side on the rocks below the moss is a bright spot, probably some kind of lichen. These are quite noticeable due to your darker processing in these areas. Thus, I'd be inclined to clone them out.
Your water detail is also superb, and the shutter speed seems ideal. Fantastic image, and due to the 3 image vertical pano, this should look awesome measured in feet rather than inches.

nice image - processing good. i'd agree with getting rid of the bright spot at the top (clone or crop).

Beautiful scene Daniel and the water exposure looks really nice. Nice mood to the scene and lush colors for this time of year. Great job on this.

Excellent capture, Daniel. Soft light complements this scene beautifully and your processing is a spot on.

A lovely composition, and a subtle choice on the processing. I think it works well.

Excellent comp; great choices made during capture.
I find this to be a very dynamic image due to the movement of the water in the foreground.

Daniel, this is beautiful! I just bought the 24mm TS - came in the mail today! This shot is an inspiration and I'm excited to experiment with the lens. Do you use this lens much?

Jon, thanks for your comment. The 24mm TS is probably my favorite. There was an article a while back in Outdoor Photography on using the shift function to make panoramas without having to move the camera - especially with near/far compositions where you don't have to worry about nodal point etc. The tilt is great for unlimted DOF and you can use both functions at the same time in some circumstances. I don't do architectural photos for which tilt can be a big deal.

That has to be one of the best "off-season" posts I've seen from here Daniel. Wonderful comp.

I love the flow and depth, the way that the water draws you from the top, over the rocks and "out" the lower right...
Very nice composition,
Tim!
