Waterfall

You have caught the water quite well as as silky sheets. However, there are one or two areas where the light seems too strong, cold and offputting - particularly some of the patches at the base of the waterfall and the reflected light on some of the leaves.

The shot as a whole looks a bit cluttered and doesn't caputure my imagination. Doing some quick "hand masking" (holding my hands up to obscure different areas) I wonder it would be better to lose the bottom quarter of the picture. Rather than seeing the bottom of the falls, where it meets unexciting looking water and a messy clump of plants, crop that out and leave the viewer wondering how far the falls descend. You could also make the colour balance a little more towards yellow, green and red, suggesting light penetrating a thicker jungle canopy above.
