I think I can appreciate what you're going for here, however, was it necessary to blur the entire background? For me, I think it would've been nice to see some of the waterfall.

I like the way you caught the sunlight filtering through the tree canopy and highlighting some leaves/ferns. The dirt of the trail has nice contrast against the green and leads my eyes along the journey. The angle of the hill adds to a sense of potential motion. The highlighted leaves on the tree at the very top left distract me though and I think the composition would have been even stronger if some of the top were cropped off. I like that there is a person in the photo, but I wish I could see a little more of him. Even with him more exposed, I don't think he would become the main subject and he would still blend in well with his camoflauged backpack.

Beautiful abstract, the nice straw colored forms in the center of the falls go well with mossy patch in the foreground. Congrats.

Nice use of the slow shutter effect with this waterfall while contrasting it against the plants in the foreground. I wish the waterfall didn't have such a muddy look but that isn't something you can control. What is the red dot in the upper right corner. Great shot.
