I love the green moss/lichens and the reflected light just above the water. The flow of the water is just right, exposure-wise. I was a little worried by the very bright top left corner but I tried to darken the rocks and the image is neither better nor worse. In the end, it's a great photo,
Bravo.

I agree with francois, both on the shot itsefelf and the bright ligth in the upper right corner.

For my tastes I would suggest a 3:2 crop so that the bright "finger" in the upper left go to the exact corner, plus a little vignetting and brigthtening of the certral part.

Yes, good seeing. Moving water is unfashionable in some circles, but I like the 'frozen' splashes at the bottom.

Thanks for the feedback. Some things to think about?
