Nameless Falls

The Japanese for centuries had a belief that monsters or gods lived inside of waterfalls. For that reason, they often put shrines near waterfalls to honor the spirit or for protection from the spirit the dwelt within the torrent. This namesless little waterfall is located right next to the Sea of Japan, with two shrines surrounding it. Sadly, the small shrine on the bottom is the only one that can be photographed with the falls. Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanx.

The shrine adds scale and identifies it as at least oriental. A nice touch. The water looks a little too static - almost like a transparent, misty sheet. I think that increasing the aperture might have cut the exposure to get a better effect without sacrificing the DoF.
 
Thank you for the reply. I have been trying to sucessfully shoot this water fall for over a year, and sadly it almost always comes out this way no matter what I try. The angle is just such that the water almost disappears at the lower half of the falls, not really sure of what the best solution is.

Thanks for the comments!
