Nice work and lovely to see on an ice storm day....
The light splashes and sunstar are excellent.
I might clone out the partial leaf on the right side and if you can't
get the stem sharper at the bottom , I would get rid of that too.
Just pleasant to see all around, I am a pessimist about the Gorge rebound anytime soon.

This is a very attractive image.  The colors pop.  I like the sunburst and the softness of the waterfall.

Nice, Daniel. I agree with Dan about doing something with the leaf and the stem.  Your might consider dropping the cyan on the left side of the falls. Other than that, the light and color are excellent.

Like the lighting and the leaves in the FG tie in with the color of the trees in the BG.  Wondering why you cut off the falls on the left?  Feels a little odd to me not seeing it in its entirety.  I realize a vertical and keeping the sun a decision one way or the other might have had to be made, unless you took 2 verticals and stitched them, or 2 horizontals for that matter and stitched them.  The water looks little too cyan, maybe more of an artistic touch than I prefer for water.  Hope there is something left of the Gorge to see for those of us who have yet to visit, but would lke to some day.

Daniel: the light, subject and composition all came together. Excellent. Richard

Very dreamy Daniel!  Excellent near/far composition; I really like the ground(water) level perspective.  Very subtle observation, but I'm glad that the mossy rocks do not merge with the base of the falls. But speaking of the mossy rocks, they're a little neon for me (but we all know the vibrance of the greens of the region...)

The only minor suggestion I have would be a crop or cloning of the left edge to remove a couple of the brighter spots.  I'm also torn about the cluster of leaves in the ULC; not sure if they add or detract.  Just a thought.

Beautiful image overall.
