    I seem to be in the minority, but this shot doesn't do too much for me.

    The falls are beautiful, of course, but the shot seems quite flat, and the composition resulting in the falls to be near the centre doesn't add much (I'm aware that in this shot you were probably trying to get the whole drop in, and you may not have had much compositional choice from your vantage point).

    I guess maybe I'm looking for more drama in the shot, and not finding it...

    I'm not sure how helpful it is, and I've seen this thread quite a few times and resisted posting, but this time I figured I might as well...

    Usually we don't critique in this forum....but the shot is indeed flat and needs more contrast.
