Greetings from the Critique Club.
First impressions are the bright spots on the rocks and the star trails.
Technically it seems like you had a trade-off between such a long exposure (282 seconds, wow) for the star trails and exposing the water correctly. In the end you went with the star trails. I think that was a mistake as the bright spots in the rocks are quite attention grabbing. Composition is good but maybe crop a little off the right as the darkness doesn't add much.
Artistically there are some good "lines" for our eyes to follow that all converge on the waterfall. Overall though the shot lacks a bit of punch, I'm not sure what to suggest to get that though - maybe duotoning?
In summary this is an ok long exposure water shot but they are common at DPC so you need to nail it to score well. Having zero comments during a challenge is quite an achievement - I've still not managed that! Keep submitting!
Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
