I have seen many waterfall pictures but this one really strikes me as beautiful. The softness of the water looks so inviting. This is a truly gorgeous picture. Congrats and good luck!

Very peacful and I like your choice to really get close to the water and resist the urge to try and include everything.(as is my tendancy. Very good eye).

Very nicely done. Like those little sprays on the upper right and the contrast with the rocks.
