Comment by posthumous:
in the forums you have expressed a desire to have low votes explained to you. I was your 3, and I will explain it I felt like the vignetting was too heavy. this waterfall, and most waterfalls, do not have a single focus of attention. their visual pleasure comes from their shape across the whole canvas, the negative space they create, etc. in other words, it's all about the composition. the heavy vignette just diminishes that sense and brings the eyes to the center, which doesn't really have anything. In addition, there is a glittery milkiness caused by sharp focus combined with long exposure, oversaturated greens, and maybe other processing as well, that I just don't like. It looks unnatural to me.
