Wonderful capture. The branch is abnormally descending, or broken off. This gets a 10.

I love this. I don't think it would be as striking had it been in color. 10 from me.

You could have cropped the waterfall closer to the branch wihtout losing any of the effectiveness of the movement of the water, but otherwise an excellent shot

Nice shot. May have been a little better if you used a longer shutter speed to soften the water more. It may have made the branch stand out a little more.

This is a great shot, but with the addition of a ND filter you could have dropped the shutter speed even lower to give the water a more silky effect which would give more contrast to the branches.

7 - I like this shot but think it as just a little more potential. Perhaps that meant getting in the water, so, not sure. Criticism; Just incorporating more of the branch, a more ground level angle perhaps, may have made this a more dramatic shot in my opinion. As for color vs b/w, not sure, I like the dramatic effect here in the b/w but wonder if the branch would have been even more prominent in color.

What makes this image are the tones - they are very well done.

Great use of b/w and the fallen tree makes a wonderful subject. There are many things going on in the shot, and that may count as distracting...regardless a nice job.
