Technically, there is a LOT wrong with this image. The sky is blown out, the colors are muddy and off, and while the exposure is OK, it could be better.
BUT...
the concept and execution is so outstanding I will forgive all that! I just LOVE what you did here- the concept and the framing and all- just a Great piece!
I have always been a proponent of the idea that you dont need a great camera, you need a great concept. This image proves that idea.
Thank you so much for entering! And congrats on placing in the top ten! :)

I find these falls very interesting, and very pretty. The color is very cool, and their shape is so unusual.
The timing is just right- I think 1/2 a sec gives a good look for these falls and this position. I think your highlights are good, but maybe the shadows are a a bit dark. Overall a really great image.
If I note any fault, its the people on the far left of the image. I would have framed them out, cropped them out, or waited for them to move. It takes thins from being cool image of a natural area to a tourist stop.
Overall, a really pretty image!

I picked this because it was so different from all the other images. I love the look on the young mans face- so cute!
And the wonderful warm color of the late afternoon sun adds to the great feeling this image evokes!
Excellent image- thank you so much for entering! And congrats on placing in the top ten! :)

Meet the expert judge
I saw a LOT of images of this place. Many of them were very good. Three even made it to my final list! Most were good technically but you stood above with the moodiness of this image.
I really liked this one though- against the rest it really stood out. I love it! Thanks for entering! And congrats on placing in the top ten! :)

I just LOVE this image. I love the color, the framing, the viewpoint- this just comes together so well with the time of day and BOOM- you got an excellent image!
Great job (and a good call!) on doing a pano- I think you did a n excellent job!

Moody and transfixing! I love this. I like the tight crop, and the mystery of the whole image.
The swirl is just perfect!
I also like seeing the different elements- mist, showers, rock, waves of water. Excellent image! Thank you for entering the waterfall contest! And congrats on placing in the top ten! :)

Brief

Moving water is one of the most difficult things to photograph, although we love to try! Few subjects are as popular with photographers, who can’t get enough of the aesthetic power of water and the incalculable number of ways it can be captured or used within an image. Do some research before diving in, and good luck.
A very nice image, and a place I have not seen.
I think the composition and exposure are very nice. But I dont think the light is helping you at all here! You sorta have a reverse vignette here.... dark center and light edges. This is making they eyes go all over except to the subject.
I do like the quality of the light in the upper right, with that fence- that is pretty. But the green above the waterfall just pulls me right out of the image. The exposure on the foreground rocks would work (probably) if the left and right were not so bright.. And if the waterfall were brighter.
So good job on framing this up and your composition. I bet if you played a little with developing this, you could really make this pop!
Thanks for entering!
