Eastatoe Falls, Need some Comments

First off I'd like to say that this waterfall produces a lot of white water, so it's extremely difficult/impossible to get a perfect image.

-Edit- I have it narrowed down to two now.

Which do you think is best?

Very nice compositions, but there are some blown highlights in the water. As you say, it can be hard to control. Start by shooting when light is more subdued, such as a cloudy day. A polarizer helps a little, but Neutral density filters are better. I sometimes use up to 3 stops of ND on top of a polarizer. The polarizer did give you more saturated colors in the foliage.

Nice pics, but like you say it looks hard to do, but maybe you could try this, if you can get back there try and under expose the pic because you could bring it out using the Selective colour tool in PS and use the White, Neutral and Black options and you'll see it working as you go.....??

Best of luck.
