Ah, a bridal veil falls that really looks like a bridal veil. Interesting contrast between the psychedelic veil and the HDR type setting. Always wondering what processing can bring out, where it might lead.

Like the image but the white of the water looks blown out.

looks like the blue saturation was pushed way too high

on my monitor your waterfall has a funny glow to it...to me it's very distracting

For me personally a bit overdone with the saturation of the water.

OK - I'm going out on a limb here and letting you know that I scored this a '1'. Only fair to let you know why.

First of all I should say that I use the full scale and that I am but one voter with my own expectations and 'luggage'.

The subject matter is one that really doesn't excite me (it will be on the money for plenty of other people though).

Although I think the upward looking POV is interesting enough, the bottom right rock formation encroaches on the area of interest and detracts from the scene.

Most of all though, I'm afraid I've against your editing choices - the blown highlights and blue fringing to the water are to my eye very unattractive.

Having said all of that and having spent the time writing this comment I do wonder if a 1 is a bit harsh.... Bumping to a 2.

The colour and highlights in the water make it look very unnatural compared to the rest of the scene.

looks like radiator fluid.

the processing has caused blue/white blown out highlights which spoils this

Not sure about the processing. It looks unnatural.

A nice subject, but I'm wondering what is going on with those blown highlights and blue in the water?

It appears you pushed the overall saturation to get some pretty nice colors on your mossy rocks, but unfortunately since you did the whole image the blue in the water was drug along for the ride. The blues are way oversaturated.

I myself am pretty lazy when it comes to making selections, and don't do them enough, but this is a case where it would have been a must.
