I love the sense of movement seen in the flow of water. Love the silkiness of the water as it flows over the rocks and down river - there is just something magical about that flow. This is a nice scenery shot but it could have more visual punch. First I think it would be better if you used a square crop for two reasons. First it would keep and focus our attention on the water flowing over the rocks thereby making that the main focal point of the shot as a whole. Second it would crop out the bottom third to just at those rocks at the bottom of the river - that movement of water and portion of the composition does nothing for the image as a whole. Matter of fact it detracts from the main focus - the lovely fall of the water over the rocks further upstream. Next, I think this photo can do with a tad bit more color saturation - not too much for you don't want it to go over into the oversaturation category. Bumping up the color saturation and a bit more contrast will make this photo have more richer tones that would increase the visual appeal.

Hi David, the silkiness of the water is really good though I'm getting the impression the whole image is somewhat blurry. This may be intentional or a consequence of unintended shake. As the camera is already on a tripod (it is on a tripod?), consider triggering the shutter with a timer or with a remote shutter activation device suited for your camera. These are cheap on eBay and will eliminate the shake you get when activating with your finger. If this is not the issue, weigh down your tripod by suspending some weight directly below the center of gravity as this will reduce the effect wind has during longer exposures. Otherwise, the colors are very gentle though appearing a bit "magenta" at my end. Hope that helps and thanks for the inquiry. Getting closer!
