I like it. Would like to a bit more of the water in the bottom, to give it a bit more of sense of movement. The colours are probably "over the top" for some, but to me they marry well with the feel of the place.

Thanks Paulo, I've tried working it out differently but haven't been able to get a similar effect. The colours are a bit more saturated than I'd normally have them as well.

I saw a sunrise like this today, minus the falls and jungle.

The yellow looks really blocky, I wonder if there is more structure in it.

Agree about needing a little room under the falls.  On my monitor, the sky is over the top, I find it actually detracts.  Plus being so saturated it really kills the delicate dark tones of the forest surrounding the falls.

Great photo, but the sky looks a tad saturated for my tastes.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I wasn't sure but it seems my suspicions were correct. I need to get a new monitor and a better one at that.

Any recommendations on good displays and calibration kits?
