I think you didn't hold the camera straight.

(Sorry for being blunt but that is the 5th photo in 24hrs that needed the same critique)

when water falls-it falls vertically-you are also out of focus, and lacking in color-Ken

I'm with fletch. One some shots a tilted look works, but waterfalls just aren't the type to work well with that. The silky look is wonderful though. Where is this waterfall? Did you use any type of filter and was it overcast?

Ditto for me...out of focus, angled, and harsh light. If you can, try taking the same photo early or late in the day when the sun is lower in the sky. You will get much better colors.
