Waterfall in Town

I screwed up the first time! It's posted below

I was at home this past weekend visiting from college and went down to the local tourist attraction to snap some pics. I was inspired by another vertical panorama I saw on here a week ago and thought I'd try it out on this waterfall. I've never posted on here so don't know for sure if this will work but hopefully a the picture shows up! Let me know what you think, I'm open to all types of feedback.

I took all the photos in RAW using my Canon Rebel XT with the exposure down 2 stops to get the motion blur in the waterfall. I corrected the exposure in Photoshop but some parts were tricky with the sky and the shadows from the bluffs around. I don't know if this prospective works or if I should have shot the entire waterfall?

looking at it again I thought the trees above the waterfall were a little underexposed, does it look better with them kicked up a little bit or do they need to be exposed more?

I prefer the second, with the more exposed trees. I think the addition of that extra green adds lots to the scene. I've never seen a vertical panoramic shot like this. Looks great! I love the way you caught the motion of the waterfall. Just the right amount. The water at the top almost looks still, while looking like the speed increases as you move down the shot. This looks like a great spot to relax on a warm day.

Thank you I might have actually used a quicker shutter speed for the middle photo than the bottom two, I hadn't noticed that before about the speed of the waterfall
