Thanks a bunch all. Felt good to actually push the trigger on my home turf. Doesnt happen too often anymore :P
Seems that most people are split on 2 and 3. I think personally I lean toward 2...3 the cloud just blocked the fg letting the water pop alone but something about the extra light/contrast in 2...
Now perhaps to release one of these in to the Galleries
Aloha!

PS Yes that last one is Lumahai (and wailua falls for that one...)
Great shots Aaron, I saw the last one on a Kauai FB post last week.
I'm heading out there next month... if there's any way you could shoot me a PM to recommend good photo hikes or locations, I'd truly appreciate it. I'm sure you don't want to post anything here.
@smmokan - honestly most of my work is done at common place areas around the island. kauai is that good. here were wailua falls, lumahai beach and hideaways. check out the na pali coast and koke'e state park...infinite stuff to explore.
I prefer #3 over #2. I think the spot light of light on the foliage in #2 takes away from the falls. My favorite is #5, a very cool composition. My least favorite is #1, I think the layout of the clouds in the sky just don't quite balance right.
