I like the overall tones and sharpness of the image but it appears to be leaning a little to the right. It is a hard call though - was this taken with a wide-angle lens?

No it taken with my kt Lens and a polariser I cropped some of the top off and was backed up as far as I could go and still get low enough to get it all in think maybe a 10-24 would be better sometimes up there but as yet cannot justify the expense

18mm is still pretty wide. Perhaps you could post the core settings (which you should be able to copy and paste from the photo on Flickr)?

will just get the EXIF from the original I did some hue and sat to this I think before cropping hang on a sec !

18mm

!.3 seconds at f22 and centre weighted metering

I thought maybe a ND filter would give it more balance? I used a polarisier on this one

I like the framing, and lighting. but I think a faster shutter speed would be better. overall, it looks like a realy peacefull serene setting, and adding the "rush" of the moving water just dosent seem to blend with the rest of the scene.
