Jayson:

Very nice. In the weekly assignment you said it is a small waterfall. Some of my favorite and many times the most photogenic falls are some of the smallest.

As for comment:

• Your best help is to improve the lighting... in other words, shoot early morning (sunrise), sunset, or heavy overcast.
• Need a strong foreground. The leaves and rocks actually work well if in good focus and glare free.
• Don't be afraid of f/16. Diffraction is minimal, and f/18 is not very noticeable, but the smaller aperture with help with the DOF for the foreground and give you a longer exposure if needed.
• Sometimes using the stream as a good lead-in works really well (even better if you can get a few rocks in there with leaves). To do this, you need to pull back some, get low, and put the falls in the top third of the frame.
• Dissecting the falls by zooming into interesting parts usually works well and produces something different than most will get.
• I may be wrong here, but it looks like your CPL was not turned to get ride of the glare on the rocks at the bottom. My first priority for the CPL is to get rid of the ugly glare on wet rocks. You will be amazed at how well that cleans up the detail in the rocks and makes the foreground a lot more interesting.

Good luck and enjoy the water.
