Nice shot. The water is crisp and the light and shadow are good.

I like the way you have captured the light through the trees..... I would call them magic falls.....

This picture is very nice but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was 'density filter'. Longer exposure would have made so much difference.

Lovely

Nicely done, with one exception. The light on the falls is just a little too bright. You lose definition there, and it looks more like a giant streak of eraser brush on white canvas than water-flow.

this looks oversharpened to me

Nice light. The water is maybe a touch overexposed, but I'd take that over having those details in the stone underexposed. I really like the way the tree is part of the image. The crop on the splash feels a little tight.

Is this on the Eagle Creek Trail in the Columbia Gorge? You don't need to answer that, I'll check back after the challenge is over.

Nice job.

Love the way the waterfall and the branch almost mirror each others trail down the photo. Great shot.

Good old Columbia Basin. Great capture for a falls I've never thought was that "aesthetic". Horsetail runs so strong and narrow it's hard to get any definition to the water. You did well. 7
