This is a Pretty stunning image Krishna...well done!! I find myself looking at the balance between FG water and cliff walls, wondering if too much water but not sure, and I also might have traded a little of the LHS for a little more on RHS.. but as I said, it's wonderful just as it is..my ponderings are just looking on how one might improve it, not so much that it would improve it..

Thank you for the comments. I took couple of versions of this shot where I have more on the right, left, changing position to get more of curve for water etc. After looking all the image from the trip, I chose to process this as I saw this as most balanced composition.

The water leads you nicely into the frame. Like the vertical framing. The texture of the rocks and smoothness of the water works very well.

Flawless in every regard!
