Hi kirbinster,

I think you've got some excellent light and reflections on your waterfall. The colors are rich and the scattered rocks in the foreground add some perspective.

A couple suggestions:
-The top of the falls is sort of your 'horizon' and it is unfortunately slanted. Could you rotate your image to get this horizontal line parallel with the frame's edges?
-The area of water on top of the waterfall almost looks like sky at first glance due to its calmness...I'm not sure how I feel about this...it's almost like an illusion...some may find this odd and others may find it intriguing. I'll let someone else comment on this aspect.
-I feel like the green tree reflection on the left adds some great color, but the black tree reflection on the right (and the black area of the falls all the way to the right for that matter) might just be a distraction. Could you try cropping it out? It does offer balance, however, so see what looks best.

As you can see, my last 2 suggestions are more like "thinking out loud" comments...your composition is great and with the straightening of that 'horizon', it can be even better!

Thanks for sharing!
