What a wonderful image of this classic location Daniel.
I really like the mood that the image invokes, and you could always pass this off as "the light of a new Spring drawing the long winter to a close"
I love the silhouette of the trees at the top of the fall, the fog and light give them such an eerie glow.
I would have liked to have seen this image taken with a longer exposure (perhaps 1/4 second?) to soften the detail in the falls. I think the image also looks slightly soft - given the f-stop/speed you provided I suspect that this was hand-held and a contributing factor.
If you had the option of shooting the image at F8 on a tripod I believe this would have provided a sharper image, with more depth of field at a shutter speed that would have better displayed the falls.
As for suggestion for possible improvement, I would crop in from the right to make the fall/bridge more central - the letter-box format would further enhance the power of the falls.
I would also try to bring up the lighter areas of the foliage on the rocks. The lighting is a bit flat and bring this up would help add more depth and keep the in the frame.
Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful image, full of mood and drama. All comments reflect my own personal taste and how I'd view the image were it may own. This is definitely one you could hang on your wall with pride.
You might consider printing it. Nicely done!
