I like the effect of the long exposure and the framing/shape of the flowing water however, on my monitor at least, color balance seems to be a bit greenish. It's probably due to the environment, mostly green foliage.

Edit: typo correction

Nope. It is DP2's signature yellow-green cast, its Achilles' heel.

Thanks Francois and Slobodan ! I see green in the cascade water but see
pure white 255 in the creek water and high lights in the wood and rock on the left.

Hi Dwayne,
I imported your photo in Lightroom and used the WB tool on the water (not the brightest part) and here's the result. It's not optimum as there's a hint of magenta in the lower right but I find it a bit more pleasing (at least to me).

Good job that works nicely also !
