I really like the whole vision of this - how you approached the shot, how you edited and presented it. It holds together very well. Nicely done!

First Impression
If I were standing in this spot I would be holding my breath at the power of it.

Subject
A very beautiful location. I think that the honeymooner's story was a nice aspect to show. I also love how you told us about the setting and what it took to get there. It really puts the scene into perspective and adds to my enjoyment of this photograph.

Composition
The triangular composition works great here with the falls and the two couples. I kind of wish this perspective didn't include the lodge at the top since it pulls my eye some from the main subjects and makes me focus on the desaturation instead of the story. The couples do a fine job of fitting to the story of the honeymoon on their own quite well.

Lighting & Color
I can appreciate the time you took in post processing to convey the atmosphere of the weather. After reading your notes on it I can say that it does do that, but only because you pointed it out to me. I would not have made the connection during voting. Your use of HDR has done a great job of giving us good detail and texture throughout the picture and is very tastefully done.

Thank you for a beautiful scene. I enjoyed learning about this place and the attention to detail you had in your post processing. If you have any questions about this critique please send me a pm.

Have a great day!
Chris
