Ok fine

The black blob at the top is rock, the image was taken looking out though a cave entrance.

hii, i don't shoot lanscape much but this is how i see it
first shot , i like the green leaves, my attention is that so maybe cut out the big blob rock as we're now calling it. i would ajust the levels here a bit more so that the leaves are more green because the image overall looks dull.

second shot, i think it looks alittle crooked and then crop tighter since we're concentrating on the water fall here, right? so take off some of that rock in the foreground, leave a bit to give a sense of depth. then cut some of the rocks off on the right, you'll end up with a vertical image. it'll lead people's eyes to wander from top to down with the water.

leave shutter open for a while longer on #2 to show the water 'flowing'. use a tripod for this.

Shot #2 is very crooked (needs to be rotated left). I would like to see a tighter crop, maybe a little more contrast. I think the water is ok not blurred. Take heart, we are all in love with our own work. Without the opinions of others we risk stagnation.

Ha that's my name!. #1 is a bit uninteresting need a focus point, but #2 has alot of potential. Maybe try it again with a small apature (larger f#) and longer shutter speed to get that motion blur. These shots remind me of the NorthWest, man I miss not being there. Keep shooting, one day it will all come together.
