Another very well composed and executed shot.
Excellent use of color... A very nice contrast between the greens of the moss, the browns of the rock faces and the wite of the flowing water. Looking at this shot I feel the cool of a shaded forest.
I particularly like the way you have played the angles of the rock faces against the paths of the two "rivulets" of water to provide very well defined lines over which the eye moves within the frame.
These dynamic eyelines provide this image with a sense of motion and flow that is (unfortunately) absent or limited in most waterfall shots.
There might be a small amount of diffraction starting to peek in, and I might have cropped out the blown highlight on the upper right of the frame, but those are very minor issues when balanced against the other aspects of this shot.
Very nicely done.

You were under shade and out of direct sunlight?
Perhaps that is a reason there was no light leak.
Keep up the good work with the Bronica

Is there any way you can burn in the right upper corner? The blown hightlights on the rock really are distracting, especially if you follow the stream of water right into it.
