However, I should say, that this really isn't that different than reality. Everything in this location is covered with green green green and it was a rainy day in the morning hours, adding a lot of natural color saturation.
Totally valid critique. It's just my artistic choice.

Absolutely. I'm always interested in the different ways artist interpret an image. It really gets creative juices flowing.

So I'll back up and ask, what's the subject of this image?

I may not agree with them all, but they are welcome. We all see things differently. It would be horribly boring if we didn't. The adjustments I made were rather small but they did have a surprising impact. I almost added back some mist to the image that my micro contrast adjustment took out. I wasn't going for reducing the mist but that was the result. Surprising to some, it was not due to a heavy dose of the Dehaze slider. Love the image. I feel the subject is the beauty, color and the feel of the image. The subject is clear in my mind. Don't know what Hook had in mind but would be curious to know.....or maybe he's been out in that western sun too long. Sorry, Gary.

But the question that keeps popping up is, "what is the subject"? And that's an important question. So I thought I'd ask.
To me, the subject is the place, the mood, and the light, not the waterfall.
