I'd love to know where this photo was taken. I would be interested in vacationing there myself some day.

The mottled light on the people in the foreground is distracting. Under the given lighting conditions I think that composing the shot so that the figures were closer to the waterfall would have produced a stronger photograph.

What an inviting location; what an inviting photo - pulls the eye into the pic, looks cool and wonderful.

beautiful

the focus seems to be more on the surroundings and less on the family itself. looks like a fun time though.

Simply beautiful. Great job! My only negative comment would be the DOF on the people is a little poor and the shadows make them less distinguishable (but I realize the distance makes that very tricky). Beautiful locale and great composition. Nice work. 9

I really wish you had gotten closer here. After all, what was the shot about, the waterfall or the family?

my eye is drawn more to the waterfall than the family. Ideally the family should be where my eye is drawn for this challenge. Seems a bit blurry also.

I wish the people were in better focus. The falls and the surrounding rocks are a beautiful natural spot, but overall, it makes it a tad too busy for me.
