Wonderful, fantastic shot Ewa, I just love it! the radius, of water, the waterfal, the rocks, and the trees is perfect. Colours are very natural! just great! What kind of equipment do you use?

Gotta love waterfalls...absolutely my favorite thing to shoot!! You've definitely got down the flow of the water. I really like how it falls down behind the rocks at the bottom. The contrast and lighting are also very nicely done. Very well done!!
Beautiful shot of this lovely falls, Ewa and the sunlight streaming through on the right makes for a very lovely scene. I bet it was cool in the shade here too.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I'm late and everyone has taken all the comments, but I wanted to let you know that I spent most of today trying to photograph falls and trying hard to get this kind of beauty...you did an excellent job here, my friend, and it is in my Oceans, Rivers and Lakes Fave Folder on my hard drive...lovely view and a superior work of art :)

Uhm ... I guess I am going to be the slight detractor in comments thus far ... and probably the only one. :oP
Just kidding a bit there, feel a little awkward in that as much as I love this setting as the previous viewers ... I am a bit conflicted on a couple of things.
First, let me say ... yes, I would echo Russ's words above me ... 'lush', 'cool and refreshing' are indeed operative descriptors for this image of yours.
Now then ... ok, curious ... the light in the right hand side? It is illuminating some sparse limbs from what I can tell. So, I am wondering if the introduction of that element to that extent could be cut back some. Suggestion here is to crop more to a vertical format, possibly square.
And it does 'hurt' (<--- using this word loosely here) to know that that some of that rock texture of the right will be lost, as I think that it provides a better visual counter balance to the cascades than the dappled light. My humble and personal opinion only of course.
Let's see if I can make this simpler to understand. Had you come around with the camera position a tad to the right and then looking a bit more left to eliminate that area of sparse growth ... it would make your image here more pristeen in my eyes.
So ... natural versus pristeen?
Not sure, this morning ... my preference is for ... pristeen.
Challenging lighting conditions from what I recall of your other cascades image. You really have done remarkably well in providing 'us' with another gorgeous view of this setting. Do .. not .. let my words here take anything away from that.
I offer up my thoughts as a compliment to you for having stimulated my mind, simply stated. As I do love settings like this. Reiterating some of my own previous words, this has got it all for me. Textures, colours, water, trees and so forth.
Thank you for sharing your talents and efforts Ewa. I really feel the need to make that clear to you, as last time ... my words seemed to have prompted you to use a word that I would never associate with your creative endeavours ... 'failure'.
No, no ... no. Never. Understand that, please. I get to vicariously live out my photographic fantasies through your eyes and appreciate that you would have a dialogue with your viewers on your work. Very much so.
To me ... that is one aspect of the site that drew me in ... hook, line and sinker, some time ago now.
So ... thank you, once again. For this image (as well as your others) ... and for your words as well.
