Hi Dwayne,
I like the concept, and your post-processing technique seems to work well for this type of image, but if I'm honest the composition on this one feels a bit unfinished to me.
My eye gets dragged upwards through the frame, and then out of the frame without finding a natural resting place. Don't know the circumstances around the location, but it feels as if it needs a wider view.
Thanks,

Andrew,
When I feel like you do, I convert the picture to B&W so one can look at the forms without the distraction of color. If it works well in B&W then one needs to rethink one's processing of the digital negative. If it doesn't work well in B&W, then one needs to add to the picture perhaps, Thats' why one should always have coverage.
Perhaps, only for standard and routine but creative work, should one rely on framing at the time of the shoot. Never frame tight but for sure crop off anything not needed prior to printing. Hopefully, Dwayne has more shots!

Dwayne,
What I see is the waterfall as lace draped over rocks. This is gentle and different, not just cream and not just spray. It's almost as if the water itself has a purpose.
And, of course, this fits in well with your other pictures.

Hi Dwayne,
I wholeheartedly agree with Andrew that my eye is drawn upward. For this reason, I would hope that you captured a vertical version. I also agree with the lovely feeling of Asher's lace comment -- it's quite beautiful in that respect. Still, my eye wants to see where the water starts to fall. By way of similar composition of a waterfall -- though completely different, too -- is Ansel Adams' "Nevada Fall, Rainbow."
