I like the concept, Ronald. It shows the power of nature quite well. There are some bits of branches that are a little distractin. I like color and detail. Your processing looks nice.

this is real nice, Ronald. The blues and warm leaves work well together and the long is a strong point of interest. Well done.

I like the "V" shape of the converging cascades.  For my tastes I find the fallen branch to be a distracting element in the scene because it draws attention away from the converging point.  I am curious about a B&W conversion since color is not a dominant element in this image

Ronald,

I think this simple composition works quite effectively.  I don't mind the trunk - in fact it's clearly a big part of the story here.  I like the SS which is leaving some texture in the water,  yet still shows flow.  I think my favorite part is the reflecting blue in the water. And I also think you've included just enough of the surrounding leaves to make for the nice composition.

Processing great too.

Lon

Very well composed, Ronald - the variety of elements which run diagonally across the frame ( the logs, the rocks and that very large pebble ) add up to a dynamic image.  Nice, deep and cool tones, offset by the scattered ochre leaves.
