wow, I thought MY shot was underrated, but this takes the cake. e301 did an excellent job pointing out the technical problems with my picture, but I have no explanation for your score, except that people fear oblivion.

Nice composition. This could really benefit from higher contrast.

I love how it whites out on the upper right. I get this powerful sense of oblivion, probably similar to what one feels when standing near these falls. 8

I like it in B & W, but I'd also love to see this in low saturation. I think you lose some of the fog effect by desaturation.

Interesting image but most of the mist obliterates it - doesn't allow me to really get into the image itself. Good POV

I can barely see them. if you could he repositioned yourself away from the mist and spray I think it would have been better.
