About This Image

This was taken at the same spot and on the same morning as my last post, “The Watcher.” After shooting that composition, I spotted this little cave/overhang nearby and thought I’d try a different composition of the waterfall, incorporating the overhang and the moon up in the sky.

Feedback Requested

Does this composition with the rocky overhang work or does it feel too forced and contrived?

Also, I’m just noticing some weird artifacting along the rock edge and the sky. I’m not sure what happened there but I’ll have to go back to address that.
