Great colors! The orange and blue really complement each other well.

cool postcard shot, not very interesting otherwise, unless it's your backyard

I'm sure the camera is actually resting on a rock in the foreground, but I don't get the feel of "from the ground up" by looking at the photo. Nice fall though.

Great location, I would have loved to see a shot of these falls from a much closer perspective looking up. I can see the potential here and like the composition.

I wish this picture was a little sharper. Nice color tones.

Can't go wrong with waterfalls! Great subject...Challenge met!

Maybe a little out of focus, still it's the right idea.
Nice work.

Nice shot...

beautiful location

That's a great picture. I disagree with it for the topic. What you did was take picutres of everything from the ground up rather then taking a picture from the ground and shooting up. This would have been difficult from what I can see here but it would have been cool if you could have jumped into the water and taken a picutre of the water fall from the base.

The water seems to have a little bit of a blue tinge. Well done, but not remarkable photo.

I feel like I could say this for a lot of the current photos, that if I listened to the "gripers" on the boards, I'd be recommending most of these for disqualification. But I like this picture, and think you captured something really strong, even if the camera angle isn't so dramatic as to give you whiplash :) Your colors are beautiful and you have decent texturing on the rock. I might suggest zooming in a bit more on the water, as that seems to be the stronger focal point. It would also give more dimension and make for a more powerful image. But definitely, good job overall.

This is a very nice landscape photo. I like all the elements of this landscape. What bothers me here is that the falling water in this photo gives me a "from the top down" impression rather than "from the ground up". I'm also a sucker for longer exposures on waterfalls but since this is just *my* preference, i don't include that in my scoring :) Nice shot!

appears to have been shot straight on, versus from the ground up
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful! The colours are great and the lighting is a little harsh but not badly. Images of moving water are often enhanced by a long exposure time, I've found. In this case it would create a glassy effect to the water with a haze from the spray, but maybe you don't want that.

The path of the waterfalls gives me the same feeling I get from Chinese landscape painting, ie. my eyes want to wander all around the picture.

not really a picture of from the ground up, otherwise a really cool looking waterfall
  Photographer found comment helpful.

good landscape, but a bit over exposed. Maybe if you didn't have any sky in it at all it would be better ? Could be better at either dawn/ dusk with different light ?

Great waterfall. I would have used a longer exposure to really get the smooth water look

What a beautiful place. I like the capture and the angle. The water coming down isn't as clear or nice as it should be. That may just be the camera you have.

The top looks a bit overexposed, and the water is a weird and somewhat un-natural color. A neutral density filter on the camera might have helped bring the contrast to a more caputrable level. At the very least, have the exposre lock on a mid tone (with the dry red rock, there is plenty here.)
