Maybe just maybe a smaller shooting time, like 55-65 secs. Also the large tree trunk in the mid is a bit distracting. Maybe crop it a bit and leave only the roots? Would like to see the frame moved to the right a bit so that I can see the entire (insert correct word, I have no idea how to call the small waterfall in the right end of the picture

) or a step back. Like the colors a lot.

I like it, but I had a hard time figuring out which way the water was flowing -- I think mostly because it's tilted a bit. Try rotating, that will help. It might also help to flip horizontally, so that the water is flowing left to right. Sounds weird, I know, but I've seen it do a surprising amount of good before.

I agree with dcclark...flip that baby and it will do wonders. For most folks, left to right flows better and is more soothing. Otherwise I like the shot!

The tool in flickr was easy enough to use. Thanks for the suggestions.

Very nice shot but there are two things bothering me.
One is the tree trunk at the top middle of the frame which is a easy fix with a little croping.
The second is the stick on the left hand side of the frame.
If this stick was pointing to the right it would be better since the way it is now, it is pointing the eyes in the direction to the left out of the frame.
Nothing you can do about that now but it is a thought for next time..
