Strong comp Bill and the treatment of the water is perfect for my tastes. Interesting textures as well. As a matter of curiosity I might try a crop from the top so that only the falls are in frame but that's not really a suggestion as much as an alternative. I like the image as posted.

I like this alot Bill. Comp and exposure of moving water very nice. I love the rock textures and small dabs of color. Very well done. Chet

This is a nice series you've done, Bill. The color and tones look spot-on to me.

I agree with Pat's suggestion for a crop from the top. Another, more extensive crop would be to crop out the lower falls to just below that angled rock in the gorge. It gives a totally different perspective, but it does work. I do like this as presented, so any crop is a personal taste thing.

Love the line of the falls through your composition, Bill, and the nice details in the rock face. Agree with the suggestion for a slight crop along the top to eliminate the most distant falling water (ie, just below your signature). Nicely done.

Really nice, Bill. I like how the flow of the water moves thru the frame.Shutter speed right on, detail in the cliffs...perfect. No nits from me. :wavey:
