2) The rock on the lower left and the rock in the lagoon help to anchor and balance the image and the land jetting out in the middle ground.
3) The slow shutter speed reveals a milky white surf giving way to the coral colored water.
4) The falls nicely placed in the left third of the frame.
My only want in this image, and this is not a criticism, is to see more. I know you were at 16mm, but it begs for full frame camera to capture the bowl of the lagoon and a bit more of that great color in the BG sky. Does that want diminish this image in any way? NO. It just speaks to the power of this image making want to be there too.
Very impressive work. Thanks for posting it.
