Beautiful, surrealistic. I could see it as an illustration for "The Hobbitt".

I love the way you've caught the water here, it really adds to the rather 'other worldly' feel of this place. The greens are just perfect and the clarity superb. Good luck.

Wow this is a beautifull spot and a beautifull picture. I'm anxious to see where this moss covered paradise is located (geographically).

very beautiful and so GREEN! Nice extended depth of field. Has a nice feeling of the Northwest. (No watch it be Maine or some such!)

I really like this shot. The composition is good, the eye flows nicely around the image. The green of the moss is lush and vibrant. The only thing I would have liked to see is more contrast as the whole image is very light on my monitor.

Love the look of the botom half of the pic with the moss and rocks and mini waterfalls, lots of visual interest here, but there is not as much interest in the top half and the eye wonders a bit landing on what seems to be a pile of dirt. A differerent crop could have helped this photo a lot.
