Too much exposed for me, waterfall texture is lost.

Thanks for your thoughts!
I don't think it is the exposure, but more the motion blur effect that obscures the texture. It is a 30 second exposure.
Nonetheless, as presented, the waterfall is overexposed...
Perhaps it is just an artefact of post-processing and can be corrected, but one can only comment on what is actually presented.

It wasn't blown out on my calibrated display. But I brought it down a touch since it seams to have offended.
Just to be sure, I never said it was blown (although it might have been).
To have called those highlights blown is a specific technical observation for which none of us had the relevant data to make that call.
Rather the issue of overexposure is just that - overexposure - along with the attendant lack of detail in the waterfall.
If the correction re-introduces tonal differences into the highlights - all good and well!
As for offence - perish the thought - I, for one, will never take offence at such an issue. My only goal in commenting on others work on this forum is to be constructive and encouraging.
Your image has promise, but as yet, is still an uncut diamond...
