I think the rocks could do with some more contrast, they are rather dark and flat now. Nice framing with the branch.

really dark. the southwest is so bright, but this doesn't depict that. Composition is done well. really like the branch used as framing.

Assuming it is in AZ, where was this image taken? I like it a lot.

They say you learn something new every day.

Although I am a born and bred Oregonian originally from Salem I have never heard of turn-of-the-20th-century lumbering pioneer and philanthropist Simon Benson, who built the landmark Benson Hotel in downtown Portland, before seeing this picture. I see he funded this well know reinforced concrete bridge at Multnomah Falls as well as the one at Wahkeena Falls. He also single handedly purchased all the bonds for construction of the beautiful Columbia River Highway through the Gorge when they were not selling. That is one of the most scenic roadways in America. He also was responsible for Portland's well known brass drinking fountains and did so much for Oregon and its lumbering industry. He was quite the self made man! Thanks for the history lesson.

Btw, nice picture, good composition and not your ordinary view of the falls.

Waterfalls have become cliche` to me, but one with interest in the shot, like your bridge, is lovely to see.
