Magnificent. The sky, the water, and the hint of boat with it's reflected light on the left.

it could be a watercolor - with the streams of light behind the mountain, the orange/yellow glow of the sunrise, the blue greens from the water and sky and trees

The water cascades over the rocks in a really pleasing fashion - nicely spread out! Exposure is always tricky with running water, and you have done a really good job, with no blown highlights; curious,did you use a ND filter? If so, what strength? No, I did not use a neutral density filter. I took this image very early in the morning with the sun barely over the horizon. I always struggle with the sky above this waterfall blowing out with over exposure. I have used a split neutral density filter here in the past, but did not on this day.

I am going to have to start getting up early - I am very lazy when it comes to landscape photography!

Revisiting this, I am struck by the variety of textures, and how well they come together.
