Intersting composition.. I like the blue, brown & green variants... could have been better if you could have captured the complete fall.. may be more from the front side of it.. Again, i dont really know if that place allowed you to move to the front of the fall.. it was JMO... :)

It's no wonder this is your PB...it's brilliant! I love that little tinge of green at the base of the falls...nice

For me this is ok. I would have zoomed out a little and added something to give it scale. Human, plant, something. maybe a perspective from the front? Still a nice picture.

I love it. I love the color of the rocks and the white misty effect of your slower shutter speed on the moving water. I'm not sure, but is the highlight of that snow on the rock there on the bottom right blown? May just be my bad eyes. Really really nice shot.

Beautiful shot, very good job with the water. Overall exposureis well done as highlights are not blown out.

Great job getting that soft look to the falling water. I wonder if a portrait orientation would improve the shot, and allow us to see a bit more of the "fall".

Great water capture. Has that lovely milky look that comes from long exposure.

you did good. I've taken pictures of these falls and mine so don't look this good. On another note do you live in the Springs, if so we should hook up and take pictures.

Nothing I haven´t seen before but technically very well done so I voted above average or a 6.

Very nice clarity in the rocks, and their colours contrast the water perfectly. I think your shutter speed is perfect here. Very nice shot.

Wow... deja vu... right next to each other on my list are pictures of Dorothy Falls. I'm guess they were taken by two photograpers there at the same time.

Good tones, nice exposure, but it feels like the water is coming from the sky.

This reminds me of a waterfall in Utah, Lower Calf Creek Falls. It probably is way somewhere else :) Beautiful shot.

Beautiful picture, great light, compostion and motion blur, but is it a landscape or better classified as a nature shot?
