I love the blue in this. Falls are so soothing and magical to me. This is wonderful. Congratulations on Bronze.

Wow......the best thing about this Creation, is that splash of yellow & gold foliage laying atop the boulders... ....clever!
I see a Fall thunderstorm has just passed.....and if you want to know where I am moving next week.....it looks just like this in Fall weather and Spring thaw.....the Natural State, of Arkansas ~
The green font on the Back works splendidly
So does the blue
The seamless Bord is one of the best I've seen....looks like a Bord which can be used almost all year around.....and that is what grabs me the most ~
I would have liked to of seen a few green leaves as well....tucked up under the fall hues.....no worries.....still one of the best in the contest......IMO ~
Thank you for entering......good luck and God bless,
Bear ~

Oh my...this is amazing, such beautiful work. I love waterfalls and this is an exceptional picture The way you've done this is very creative, not over done and very font friendly. The leaves link it to the theme quite well There does seem to be a slight seam
At the very top, the rock near the AP logo in the margin, but there is no re-run seam that I can see, anywhere else at all 
Superbly done.

Hi Ken,
Oh, so intensely beautiful! I want to be there! You chose a wonderful photograph to work with, sublime long exposure with sharp image. Then you did your magic! The color in the border- lush and sweet. The complex series of falls show no hint of seam.
Gorgeous. Thank you for the link provided.
Even your font colors are legible and compatible.
