Hello,
First of all, I am in the "others" group of your title. I am far from famous for my lanscapes and certainly not one of the folks who should be giving too much advice, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Here's a link to two I recently posted so you can get an idea of my limited abilities
With that said,
I think there are some easily improved areas of this photo.
"A" is your foreground. It is not particularly interesting. The colors don't jump out. I think the water to the right might have made a better foreground - i.e. if you were 10' to the right shooting up into the flow , but I don' t know if that was possible.
The water is very well done, but other stuff in the middle of the photo - area "B" - doesn't look pretty at all.
The "back of the photo "C" just kind of fades off. The upper left of the photo holds my eye in, but the upper right doesn't. If there was something beautiful there freat, or maybe a tighter crop.
It would be nicer if there was a line or flow through the photo - maybe of the POV was a tad higher so that one could see the water as a continuous flow. As is the lower part of the falls feel disconnected and just goes off to the corner.
In your processing / bracketing the shadows under the falls are done well - excellent dynamic range.
Is there a better picture of this falls? - it always seems to be that a better photographer can find the picture from a place that I cannot. It seems to me, without having been there, that this is a pretty falls, with with less than ideal surroundings. Maybe some tighter crops?
Again - not trying to be too critical or overstep my bounds or portray myself as anything special. Others have told me why my photos needed improvement on this board and there has been little better for my photography. Just trying to return the same favor to others.

Steve,
Thanks for the work that you pointed out on the image - to be honest, I do have a number of other images from the same falls from different POV that do show as you suggest but I just grabbed this image on the fly just to post something to see what guys like you could suggest to be done with it, from a post-processing point of view.
BTW, I love the two images you posted as examples of your recent work!
Carl
