Hello from the Critique Club;

Upon seeing your photo, I’m amazed at how up and in your face the action is. The water careening off the edge, and the mist flowing around- it really brings the viewer into the scene. This effect is increased by your placement of the river itself, and how it trails off into the distance. I like the lack of clouds, as well as the interesting ice formations all along the rocks. The texture is really what makes this photo interesting to look at.
I think perhaps there is a bit much mist, and that it’s somewhat decreasing the clarity and contrast of the scene. One thing, and I’m not sure it would have been possible, would have been to make the point of view slightly lower and to the right so that rock isn’t in the foreground, and the water takes precedence. Otherwise, I very much like the scene and the composition. The way the canyon curves down into the distance from the top corners is very nice.

Strong, in every sense. I like the processing.

I can almost feel the ground shake. Great energy in this.

Nice picture. I took a couple of shots in exatly the same spot a few weeks ago. There was too much spray. I like this better.

That's a great way to look at the waterfall. You don't see this type of perspective often.
