I was waiting to see if anyone else had something to say.
Its a beautiful image, my eyes are drawn to the bottom right but there is nothing there.

great windows background or background in a composite but to me it needs a "subject" or if it was HUGE like 4x6 feet would be cool though.. [grin]

I was kinda waiting too. It's nice, but it doesn't have a lot of pop to me. Printed on metallic it might be wonderful, but I don't think the web is doing it justice.

Crop off a lot of the top, and a little off the bottom.  Make it more of a pano to go with the direction of the water and show more distinctly the contrast between the soft wispy water against the immovable rock.  I think the composition this way will give your mind and eye something to wander around in the image for.

Just my thoughts.  It's certainly a well-executed photograph and a great idea, but maybe a near miss.  Try some more things with it... I think I can see what drew you to it, now try to show it to us in a stronger composition, that's my suggestion.

I like the colors.

I have a hard time telling where I am in space in relation to what I see.
Is it on top of a big cliff, is it super up close and small? I cant tell.

Im jealous you were in HI.
