Lovely, moody and vibrant image Mary. Hope not too much damage done in your little diving experiment. Good use of a polariser, an oft forgotten filter.
Make your life spectacular!

Amazing image, Mary! The soft light and vignetting make it for me. Excellent.

A beautiful angle on this lovely waterfall in the woods, Mary! It was definitely worth your dive into the water!

Sorry to hear about the phone! But...a beautiful result-gosh, what we photographers will do to get the picture!!
I like the light on this one, and the waterfall off to the side.

Very nice angle on these beautiful falls. Made even better by your use of vignetting. Well done.

Looks like a very nice waterfall tucked away in a grotto, shot with the perfect shutter speed for the water volume. To me, having the heavy vignette extend into the bottom of the falls and the green vegetation being in the center and not in the vignette forces the viewer to pull their eye off of what is presumably the subject, the waterfall. When I look at this, I see the waterfall but due to the way the vignette is applied, my eyes then go to the green and lock there. By backing off the vignette a bit, that effect is avoided.

Thanks E.J. for your attention and for your precise opinion.
