The exposure looks good. The relatively long exposure time gives that pillowy look. If you'd like to see motion without freezing it about 1/13 sec is ideal.

You can do a little enhancing on the colors.

Not sure of your f-stop. The foreground is a bit blurry suggesting it wasn't high enough for the depth of field this shot demands (i.e. f16 or higher).

maybe play around with the color, and maybe crop some of the right side. Other than that, I think it is a really nice photo.

Amy, you will probably get lots of suggestions about how to fix in post, so I will suggest a little something different.

The light is not the greatest at that time of day. If you have a chance I would say to get over there when the light is golden at sunrise or sunset.

I think you could have chosen a better angle. I'd love to see the water flowing over the little steps of rock in the foreground. Maybe it wouldn't be great, and you'd end up cropping anyway, but it would be interesting to see.

You would have to decide on how much of the scene you want in focus and set your aperture accordingly.

How about something in the foreground. You have a definite middle and background, but nothing to ground the viewer.

Thanks for the advice. This was a difficult shot to get. I had no tripod and had to climb down slippery rocks to get this shot. I ended up using a rock as a tripod and used my remote. I knew the shot was missing "something" but I was so happy that I didn't hurt myself trying to get a decent shot! haha

The waterfall is beautiful and I am glad you didn't take a bath or get hurting getting it either.
