Another of my Yosemite NP image taken earlier this year. I used Topaz Simplify and blended with the original. Hope you like it...

Indranil, Seeing the falls reflected in the water is fantastic! I like the quiet feel of the image. The effect on the bare trees is great.
Indranil, I really think this is one of the best Topaz images I've ever seen. You did an outstanding job of getting a quiet, serene look without giving up too much detail. For my taste, the white puddle of water in the reflection is a hare too bright - it is drawing my eye away from the scene above. I'd tone it down just a little. Everything else is very nice - the trees are pure perfection!
Denise, Julie, thanks a lot for the kind words.
Hi Julie, the white puddle is actually snow. The waterfalls at that elevation is pretty much frozen. Here is a repost with toned down reflection for comparison...

Indranil, I really think that's better - Now the photo seems more balanced between the two and my eye isn't instantly going to the pile of snow in the reflection. Nice work on a truly beautiful image.
Indranil - this is a perfectly beautiful Topaz effect for the image. I like the repost a little better.

Nice peaceful scene, Indranil. Excellent composition with the river and lines of trees leading up to the waterfall. The still water and reflection adds a lot to the feel.
Very nice image and application Indranil.
Brings back memories of a time spent there.
As others note, the tone and feel are great.
