2 commentsJim, I like the idea, here. However, I think there's a few things you could do make this better. First, you might try to get more contrast in the mid tones. The high values and the blacks look pretty good, so don't mess with those. The brush in the lower right corner hides some nice detail on the right side of the falls. A camera position further left would have helped with that. Third, there's a white line just left of the falls along the bottom of the image that is an eye grabber. It is alway a good idea to look carefully at the edges of the frame for any bits that may be a distraction and then clone them out.
I think that if you had the opportunity, go back to this spot and work it. There's potential here for some nice images.

Thanks Preston, for the comments and suggestions, they were appreciated. Especially on rechecking the edges, the white line was a stray branch that could have been easily avoided. The brush in the lower right corner, was unfortunately unavoidable as movement to the left was not available, but the mid-tones I can definitely look at.
Thanks again.
