The rocks encircle and create a lovely frame for the beautiful cascades of the waterfall which fades into a remarkable and scrumptious color of blue greens. The composition works for me! The color palette of blue / greens and yellows makes me hanker for a touch of red here. I'm a huge fan of detail, but sometimes too much of a good thing becomes overpowering...sort of like wearing too much expensive perfume. So, my only nattering nitpick would be the over-sharpness of the photo (which could also be my crappy monitor...;-)...). The tonality of the photo presents a very even sense of lighting and doesn't have your usual and more magical sense of drama with combination of light with dark. I have the urge to drop the gamma a touch to give the photo a more mystical quality. The heavy yellow in the greens makes me miss your usual "Achoo" emerald green which I've come love! So, that is no doubt a personal preference of mine. Overall, I have the breathtaking sense of nature, and as always, you bring to me a place I can never go with a sense of beauty, color, and light!

Oh Andrew...the gritty sand next to the glassy water combined with the STUNNING colors and the compositional lines of the pier, shore, horizon, and surf boards makes this one a masterpiece! Congrats on your BLUE!
