Beautiful shot. I like how you included a person for scale, emphasizing the grandeur. I'm not too fond of the blurred bushes in the lower-left (moving during exposure?) or the gray-brown border, but this is otherwise an excellent study in long exposure.

I loved this pic, because the waterfall is so huge. I comment this one because I read the comments, and just laughed about ladymonarda comment. She says: 'Love the mushroom in the corner'. haha, there people ;) sorry, had to say something about it.

I really like the addition of people in the bottom right corner. It shows just how huge that waterfall must be. Beautiful shot.

Beautiful shot but appears to be over worked by neatimage. The water is a little to soft for my liking despite it being a beautiful shot. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <7>

This is my favorite of the waterfall shots in this challenge. The leaves in the foreground are a bit distracting, but the people add a great perspective. Very nicely done.

Nice water shot. Good composition. The person in the corner adds a good interest factor IMO.

Very impressive location. I like the inclusion of the man in the shot, as it helps with scale. Otherwise, I think it would be more difficult to tell just how big this thing is. In regards to the rest of your shot, I think the color is nice, the sharpness is right where it needs to be, and the composition is pleasing. The only thing that bothers me is the group of leaves in the lower left. If they were close enough to you, perhpas you can just move them out of the way a bit on a futurue trip to the falls.

A majestic waterfalls. I like the human element to give perspective. Nice job.

Just a quick comment... in case you might have considered using a version of this image without people in it: The guy MAKES THE SHOT here! His presence tells me I'm not looking at a two-foot high waterfall, but something rather immense. Great shot!

Bumping up. This is top 10 for sure.

That thing is Huge! Those people add the perfect perspective.

I could look at these slow dreamy waterfalls ALL day! I absolutely love the perspective of the tiny little person in the corner. It shows the amazing perspective of how massive that waterfall is. Excellent shot!!

Too bad about that branch in the foreground on the bottom left.

Love the mushroom in the corner. Looks very idyllic.

Very pretty. The deep brown behind the silvery white of the falls is a great contrast. I like the bit of leaf and I just noticed the man to the bottom right. IT gives it great perspective.
