Really, really nice. Eleven more and you've got a calander. Someone with better eyesight than I is going to have to criticize that one.

horizon needs some adjustment, maybe +1ccw.

im not sure what you had to work with in your composing but i may have rather seen this in portrait orientation.

just an idea, i would bet a smaller dof would do you well on this shot.

exposure may have been a little much, the details in the wood seems a little blown.

can you lose the powerlines and pole in the bg.

i really like the action in the lower right frame, its seems thats what i really want to see here... tighten up to that area and see what you get if you can shoot again...

I think it's *nearly* there, personally.

Fix the horizon (at least, it LOOKS tilted) and clone out the power line / pole, and I think it'll be calendar-worthy!

Pretty shot with lots of great energy and nice lighting. But what is the black, smooth thing in the center right frame that the water is falling under?

Thanks to all for the feedback. The horizon can easily be straightened as well as the power lines removed. Miguel, the water is not flowing under anything, it is flowing over a dam and then breaking as the surface changes. Thanks again to all for your feedback. I can't re-shoot because the tree is gone but I think most corrections can be made in Photoshop.
