Read the rules posted here for what additional information you need to include with your post here in the critique section.

That aside, it's a beautiful photo. I hope to go there myself one day, I've never had the chance.

This photograph certainly is an interesting subject!

There are a few things that I would touch upon on the photograph but it would be great if you could post your EXIF data also.
  1. It looks to me that the photograph is either underexposed or that you could play with the levels of the tones in the photograph. The surf of the water and the foam was probably white so you want to set the levels to that they are white and no gray. Unless they were grey of course
  2. The photograph seems a little cold so I would increase the temperature of the photo on White Balance
  3. There appears to be alot going on in the photograph in the trees on the top left of the photograph so bringing out the shadows might be interesting

The photo looks a bit blurry to me, where did you focus? It would help if you could post the EXIF data.

Cheers! Hope this helped!

First of all, a great capture.

Secondly, in addition to the comments posted above, I am wondering if the shutter speed could have been slowed down (with an increase in f value to maintain exposure) to create a dreamy effect on the fall - simply love those shots.

I am in no way an expert - just expressing my thoughts here

Nice capture, but those falls are so large, I find myself wanting to see more than what is visible. Have you ever tried taking multiple shots and making a panorama? I think this type of shot would be good for one.

I tend to agree and either do a panorama or crop it to eliminate the people etc. Also maybe try to adjust the photo so the water turbulence at the bottom is not quite so blown out.
