Such a beautiful scene that it's tough to pick between the two. I love the powerful flow of the water shown in 1. but at the same time the calmer influence of the vegetation intruding from the left in 2. is great too. Two lovely shots !
A nice take with the dreamy foggy processing. The type of processing for me gets old if it's done too much, but it's been a while since I have seen it and so it looks nice. When you do it so that it takes on a painting feel, that is really cool. #1 is my favorite.
As others have said.. you've captured this extremely well and the dreamy effect really suits the subject. The composition is top notch as well which gives you a first class image!
Nice shots. A little too dreamy for my taste but nice nonetheless. And, with so much blur I don't think your foliage movement would be visible. The water in a left lower on # 2 seems very rusty. Was that a natural color?
Number 2 for me, love how the rocks and foliage channel your view of the stream. I also like the larger ferns on the right side of number 2, seems to give it more character. The processing it good too, like Jim said, if you see it to much it gets old but it works really well for this scene.
wonderful, i normally hate any type of Orton effect, but here, first one for sure, it's magical, almost painterly and captures the real feel of the magic glow of light, first one is top notch wow!!
#1 is more magical for me, since the glow all just pours out over the falls and from where the sun is, the second one extends the dreamy orton and light out so far it starts looking a bit odder and the magical impact of the light pouring through the top canyon seems a bit less to me
#1 definitely for me. I do like the dreamy effect, but I can also see how people can get tired of it as well. For these two images, they work rather well.

When I processed these I wasn't intending to go for the dreamy look but its what I always end up with when processing waterfalls for some reason.

The water did have a dirty look, there's no flow in that little pool, its mostly cut off from the rest of the river. I think I bumped the orange luminance up a bit on that section to bring out a bit of rock detail which makes the colour a bit stronger, i might have gone too far with it, I'll have a look atthe PSD to see exactly what i did.
There was quite a bit of foliage movement, especially #2 with the ferns at the top left. #1 wasn't too bad but I'll print these at 36x24".
