Wow, the overall richness of this photo is staggering. Usually photos taken in the forest like this look completely flat and busy, but this has really captured a sense of depth.

Good water blur. I really like the bright greens all over. Perfect DOF.

managed the shutter speed and exposure very well. But i find the rock on the bottom right corner as disturbing.

The sharpness of the mosses contrasted with the smoothness of the falls make this pleasing to me (and I'm not a fan of waterfalls in general). But what gives it the "quietude" is the branch in the foreground. Kinda zenlike.

Good composition, but I find it a little bit too sharp, I would have prefered to see this a touch softer.

This reminds me of a Neil Shapiro, but I suspect it is not. Take it as a compliment though - this is a fantastic image. Love the color!
