To start I think this is an excellent image.
After looking at it for a while and allowing my eyes to wander around the photo I can however see a few minor things I don't care for. First it dosn't "feel" like septenber. Perhaps. its because for me september meens it starting to get cold, and fall colors. I see alot of warm summer green in this shot. Perhaps a warmer month for the title would have been more beleivable. Second I feel this would have looked a little better if it had been shot in the morning or afternoon giving is a slightly softer feel. The only other thing I can see that I dont care for in this photo is the little pink flowers in the background. At first I thought it was a person or somthing else in red standing behind the bushes. Perhaps making the color on those a little quiter would help.
As for positive aspects on this shot there are many. This photo is very sharp almost too sharp the background around the tree trunk seems to be almost a little over sharpened. I feel you captered the spray of the white water very well. You focal legnth is perfect. It has lots of colors and lines for the eye to follow. It is also busy enough to enjoy for more than the usual 10 seconds. However it's not so busy that it confuses me or draws away from the beautifull little waterfall.
I'm a sucker for water shots such as this. I would like to see a little more of the bottom of the falls. I love the slow exposure, excellent color and compoistion. This should do well.
