I like the branch with fresh green back lit leaves over the falls against the dark green background and also the numerous streaks of falling water. Nice blend. My only suggestion is to clone out some of the white foam on the left. Seems like a simple picture, but the proportions of black, white, dark green and light green areas are well chosen.

The bent foliage really makes this image for me due to how the sunlight passes through the leaves and the precise detail of the individual leaves. The background forest is also really well done. The falls themselves have good definition but are a bit amorphic but that's due to the water itself, I think. The river below came out the weakest because the SS that was optimal for the falls was not for the river. Perhaps a blended image of just the river would have been good. I like the overall composition and can't see any crop that would improve it. Those are my impressions today. They may be different tomorrow.

I like the overall image. The glow in the green leaves is a nice addition. I wish there was just a bit more detail in the forest.

Beautiful image, Craig. I love the overhanging, backlit branches framing this falls. I think I would crop some off the left to just inside the biggest form line. Other than that, very nice.

Sorry I'm a little late to comment. This is beautiful, Craig. I like how you framed the waterfall with the tree branch. The light / dark contrast of the tree leaves is very effective as well. Nicely done!

Very nice spring WF image, Craig. Beautiful water and spring greens. I like it as is, but I could see trying to add some exposure to the left side, including the water on the far left.

I like this a lot, Craig. The bright green leaves carry this for me. A little more detail in the darks on the left would be nice. Also, the yellowish water at the cusp of the falls looks a little out of key with rest of the water. Th remainder of the water looks perfect.
