Luscious greens!
If perhaps a slightly higher perspective was possible, the base of the falls would not have been obscured by the leaves.

The classic shot of these falls. Nicely done.

The lush vegetation complements the white water.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Hi Wade, I like what you were going for here. The included wet foreground foliage is really nice to look at and doesn't seem like an accident or afterthought as is sometimes the case when people include this kind of foliage into the foreground. I do think you would have benefited from a slightly wider angle and a slightly higher perspective. As is, I think the foliage creeps just a couple inches too close to the base of the waterfall where it enters the plunge pool. It feels a bit too obscured in my opinion. Raising your camera just a touch would have fixed that. Additionally, a couple mm's wider would have included a bit more of the surroundings, which seem just a bit cut off to me. Processing is perfect and the shutter speed chosen works well.
