Very artistic. I really like the abstract look of the water and uber-crisp foreground.

Nice use of selective focus created by the slow shutter. A tad over sharpened but still a nice photo.

I prefer this to the other style of waterfall shots that we see a lot of. Well done :)

I think I can appreciate what you're going for here, however, was it necessary to blur the entire background? For me, I think it would've been nice to see some of the waterfall.

Could do with a closer crop.

Beautiful abstract, the nice straw colored forms in the center of the falls go well with mossy patch in the foreground. Congrats.

Nice use of the slow shutter effect with this waterfall while contrasting it against the plants in the foreground. I wish the waterfall didn't have such a muddy look but that isn't something you can control. What is the red dot in the upper right corner. Great shot.

Hmm...interestingly enough you call this "the soul of a waterfall" yet the focus and composition makes me believe the subject is the vegetation in the foreground instead. Just me opinion in any event.
