Hi Jeff, greetings from the Critique Club!

Regarding your shot:

Composition
It's amazing how with 7 bracketed exposures the merging is so clear, they lined up very nicely.
The crop is a bit too tight, and you put the waterfalls in the middle of the picture, without much of a context around it. I would have liked to see a shot from a lower angel, just to get more from the surroundings, to integrate the photo.

Technique
Great take on the bracketed mode to get the flow of water, it's really great to see a long exposure during the day, it's uncommon to see it.
I can't quite figure out the aperture, if it is what you wrote, probably f/2.8 is too open, I would stop down to f/6 or something.

Processing
Good tones, great colours. If it was me, I would use some burning and dodging to enhance the waterfalls, and get a better separation.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

How beautiful this is with the soft flowing water and the hint of a rainbow in the lower left hand corner. The contrast of the blues and turquoises with the browns and greys of the textured rocks makes this a delight to review. Elegant capture.
