I actually like the framing, the eye leads in nicely with that rock in the lower part of the frame, and then it tracks around with the flow of the water. Exposure is good and there is nothing distracting in in the composition. Overall, I think the shot works quite well.

Thanks for your comments. this was a 3 tear waterfall, but after trying to get them all in i decided on just staying with a small part of it all. I took 108 frames in an hour, oh the wonder of digital hey.
Bet you have some great pic oppertunity's where you are.

I'm not finding anything to really focus on ... did you try some vertical shots to get more of a flow where we see the top of the falls or the bottom pool? That rock near the bottom looks interesting but it's too close to the bottom as is ... personally I find waterfalls difficult to make really interesting ... nice flowing water ...

The exposure looks nice, but it feels confined to me and I want to see a wider view. Could just be me.
