Here's your requested critique and feedback! :D

Very cool waterfall! First off, composition-wise, this photo has no flaws. But when we look at overall quality, I have some things to point out. First, your photos main subject, (the waterfall) is blown-out and overexposed. Bringing your aperture down to about 4 and raising the shutter speed just a tad could have fixed this on-the-spot and gotten the splashing water in perfect, crisp condition. Overexposure is hard to get out in post-processing so this must be done on-camera. Second, the entire photo appears slightly out of focus, maybe it's just me but I find that to be very bothering. Third, I would like this tons more had there been a person maybe in the waterfall, jumping down or something, just to add a bit more interest to the photo. Overall, it's not a bad photo, but nor does it really catch my interest.

Hope that was helpful! :D

The man-made box in the middle is distracting.

I would like this better if this photo had just been the waterfall; the dark right side takes away from the impact of the falls.

A nice waterfalls and I like the people at the top, it gives a sense of scale. Good composition too with the waterfalls to the side. The waterfalls is a bit overexposed though, some of the whites are blown out. A filter might have helped here.
