It's a nice image but since the waterfall does not appear to be very high, it might look better as a wide-angle image. I think your shutter speed may have been too fast, the water looks frozen.
I like the look of the fall, but it may not fit in with the rest of it. I love the colors, detail, and clarity though, and those little trees poking out of the rock to the right of the waterfall.
Feel free to edit my posted photos to help me learn.
I think you captured the movement of the water just right. I'm not a big fan of very slow shutter speeds on waterfalls as the water ends up not looking like water anymore, Milk maybe!
So I think you got it right.

I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan

i love this photo! i guess it's just the attention to detail, but the water, the colors, the clarity all just really work with this photo. i also really like water pics LOL
The shutter speed thing is a personal preference.
Some like the milky blur of slow shutter, some like the sharp frozen look of the fast shutter.
I like something in between which this seems to be.
Very enchanting photo. The greens and yellows work well with each other. The geometry of the shot is elegant. The only area I think that might have been better is if the bridge on top was prevalent, but I'm not sure - that could also introducing a man-made element into the photo (it's there as is, but not that obvious).
I like soft water, but normally only when you're closer. So I think the water worked out very well as is.

I like the composition a lot. I think you maximized what you had to work with as it is kind of a small waterfall. The color turned out real nice as well. Using, "soft" water I think always looks good for waterfalls in serene settings like this. Nicely done.

Thanks for your comment. I must have took about 20 shots and I chose this one in particular because it stood out.
Lovely shot. The clarity is spectacular and your exposure is dead on. I think this is one of those images where the smaller image limits it's true impact. I bet it would be spectacular if we could see it larger (8x10 or even larger). Well done!

Looks great enlarged. Not a critique, but I think I'd find myself trying to somehow capture just the neat little cacti thing on the right of the falls. They're pretty cool looking.
I'm going to to out on a limb here from what everyone else is saying. It's a neat shot, but it looks like something you'd see on a postcard. The problem is, I've seen this photos like this too many times before. I think it would be a really neat shot at dusk or an unusual lighted situation. I have more of a fine art background, so that's why i think i see it that way.
It looks great. Yes it looks frozen, frozen in time that is. And yes it looks like a postcard moment. That's why pro photos are on post cards, because they look good.
"Erdept" I apologize for anything that you might have found insulting. I meant it strictly as a helpful comment. I won't do anything like it in the future. Like you're avatar says "don't push me i'm ready to snap"
