I have been here! How exciting. I recognized it immediately. I grew up in Monterey. I have been through the gorge top to bottom at least 30 times have even snuck in during the winter. Water looks a little low- must be pretty dry right now. Wish I had pictures of it then. Knowing where it is and the light, that is very scarce sometimes, this is an absolutely beautiful picture. I love the way the water looks. Great shot.
I had a feeling this was yours...beautiful shot! I like the slight green from the moss on the rocks and the splash of color at the top. Good exposure length as well. Nice job!
While this does fall into the rule of thirds for me, there's something about the coloring or lighting in the foreground I can't quite put my finger on. Sorry. I do like the waterfall though.
8 - Very nice. Criticism; not sure, perhaps a tighter crop on the left hand side, the wall is a touch detracting/distracting. The water capture is excellent, from the top 'flow' to the bottom 'mist'. Technically, while no 'expert', I think you have used the rule(s) well. Maybe just a touch darker, creating more 'impact', not sure.
