A lovely view of these falls, Peter, with good ss for the water flow and nice detail of the colour and textures in those rocks - on close inspection I can see several faces in the rocks! Spooky!

The rich tones and texture in the rocks are great, Peter. I also like the way the water seems to pick up momentum as it falls and must really pound the rocks to carve out the cool shapes! The smaller falls in the upper right echo nicely without taking away from the main star.

Fascinating shapes, colors and textures- very effective perspective. Quite a dynamic and exciting view.

Very nice shot. Maybe a tiny bit more room on the bottom to get rid of that pinch point in the lower left between water, rock and frame edge.
