A well executed long exposure image with great sharpness on rocks, showing us the grunge. The dof is good also with trees in the distance in focus. Although you have hot spots on the photograph, sometimes in life they are there, so why not in the photograph! The diagonal lead line of the tree takes us inside of the photo and your compositional style by using the horizontal cut rule of photograhy works. This rocks (pun intended).

I can imagine you hiking and finding this and it would stop anyone in their tracks. There is something to be said about taking photos without long exposure, I feel too many photographers forget about the beauty of freezing the water droplets...I like your photograph for the simple reason that not only can we see it ....see the details...but I can hear it as well. Personally, I would not have minded a bit more brightness (exposure) on this to pop it out more, to make it "louder" but that is just me. I think you did well to only compose into the photograph that what matters...the surrounding bush and the waterfall. I also enjoy reading your description...we get to know you a bit better through this narrative you put up. Nice one.

Thank you very much, it means a lot.
