There doesn't appear to be any detail in the foreground, just a large area of black - If the final print is the same, I'm afraid it doesn't work for me (just my opinion, so feel free to ignore).
 
Sadly no I burned it all out, maybe I went a little far, I sort of like it but then maybe it's not that good, I think I will try another and keep some of the detail but I still want it a little dark.
 
hi shaggysk8

i really like the contrast between the stark blackness of the water
and the brightness of the falls.

i don't think you went too far, but did a great job !
the only think i would do is burn in the top left corner -

I'm with John on this. I like the contrast, too. If you're going to try printing it again, I'd suggest cropping just below the white water at the top center. When I cropped it, on my monitor, it made the falls pop. I'd also dodge the outcropping on the left. The black matches the water, so you lose a bit of the 3-dimensionality. Still, I like it...
