Hi Zhongying, Generally well framed. IMO a bit more room to the bottom would have improved the image. I'm seeing alot of spectoral highlights within the falls which I feel are the hurting the image.
In the water there are some hot areas which are shown as yellow. Generally it's important that you have even lighting in these areas.

I am also seeing some good compositions in the rock falls on the background falls that are worth isolating with a longer lens.

Hey zhongying,
I feel Dave covered my thoughts well. It appears the falls are man made?......but you captured the nice arc and flow very well compositionally and besides the few hot spots Dave mentioned....handled very nicely overall!

thanks Dave and Roman for the comments, i will try harder to improve in future shooting since this is my first very shooting on waterfalls... and Roman, this waterfalls can considered as a man-made falls, the main falls results from the water which flow out from the dam...
