This is a great shot. Wonderful location and composition. I agree with Brad on the colors though... particularly the blue. Knocking about 2/3 of the saturation out of the blue channel seems to work much better IMO.

Really like the difference between the dry and wet rocks in the bottom.

Wonderful color saturation and nice smooth water. Might like to see this "pulled back" a little to fit in more of the waterfall.

A fine composition and what a serene place - can I bring a picnic basket?
This may be only my personal tastes, but the colors here are a bit too much. I think this would look better if the levels and saturation were brought down a couple notches, and the Cyan in the waterfalls were toned dopwn a bit.
This is pretty easy to do in selective color adjustments.

Great capture of the waterfall. I somehow feel you could have taekn this closer to the ground so that the water surface didn't take up so much of the image area. (Or maybe cropped off a lot of the bottom...)
