-- Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want , but the realization of how much you already have....Anonymous   Wow, this is really beautiful! The waterfall, and the surrounding landscape. The entire shot is amazing.
Out of curiosity...was this taken with any ND filters?  aside from the bridge, it could be a primeval forest!

 reports, 1d 19h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

Clearly, the distance to the waterfall is needed to show its overall beauty, completing the picture with the steep walls, lush greens, and in particular the giant boulders. I am most certain that a closer look at the falls might be nice as well, but I believe one would be left with a very different impression than the one gained from this image.
The composition of the frame is excellent; the waterfall serves as an instant focus point while subsequent elements of interest appear when they eye tire of the falls beauty itself.
Technically speaking, I think a little shorter shutter speed may have been a better choice; the image is so crisp that the softness of the waterfall does not quite fit in. But as you say yourself, shutter speed is a personal choice.
The only other, extremely minor, criticism that I have is that the boulders seems slightly too yellowish. While this makes them stand out more, which is a good thing, it also seems a little unnatural. If it was its natural color though then I hope you can forgive me.
Overall, I end as I began,
Beautiful!
Ingo
