Greetings from the Critique Club

I can see why you would enjoy this spot in Yellowstone. Not only did you see the majestic fall of water, you got to hear the roar of sound and perhaps even gather in a bit of the mist.

Now, you had some trouble managing your darks and lights, which is why it's a good idea to bracket your shots, if your camera will do it.

As it is, your waterfall loses detail and could be described in part as "hot" while the trees, especially those to the right are so dark as to be lost among the rocks. In addition, that lovely waterfall is smack in the middle of your composition. while sometimes this works, it would have been fun to see an image where the waterfall was over to the right cascading into the frame.

So, I'd consider this more of a 'record' shot. Once you have that one, experiment a lot and get different angles and exposures. You will be pleasantly surprised.

pretty waterfall, but the focus is too soft for my taste. It just kind of hurts my eyes....

What a view !!! nice exposure and composition

More depth of field would have been nice , also a bit more detail in the shadows

shot in raw ? This can be reworked a bit further , and printed

love the tiny people at the edge of the water fall

I like the way the rocks have been used to frame the waterfall but would like to have seen the landscape a little sharper
