White sky was tough, but cutting out did not work for me either. Here is my try.

Nice composition and execution. A white sky behind a waterfall shot can be a pain, but not the end of the world. Many times the effort to eliminate it yields a less satisfying result than just leaving it in.

White sky doesn't bother me as much as the few leaves coming from nowhere. However, it's still a beautiful shot.

nice
very much makes you feel like you are there

just a few more pixels on the bottom would've been ideal to not clip the tip of the large rock, but a very minor detail

I love those leaves! They help make the shot, make you feel like you are actually in the forest, the forest overhangs the steep cliffs to the right there and it's cool that the shoot gets the proper feeling down. I'm one who is tired of every shot having to be some clean, out of woods look. I love how the leaves may you feel enveloped and looking out from within.

Thank you so much for your comments.

I wanted to make it work with the leaves overhead. to give the sense of something hovering above. I hope to improve in such composition more. Regarding the rock at bottom, I agree that it is only just a tiny bit to tight there. I thought I cut in plenty, but that was the version I disliked, and threw away.
