When I first began frequenting this forum I posted something and Bill made some kind of reply that I found slightly offensive. Since then I have found that he is just the forum curmudgeon, and I usually read any comments when I see his name attached to them. For entertainment at the very least!
I wouldn't really consider this forum a photo critique site. If you want good constructive criticism, Brian, for the kind of work you do and admire I would suggest the Nature Photographer's Network. People here are nice and appreciative, but folks using that site have lots to say about composition, filtering, processing, etc.
Finally, and this is just my opinion, I find that the best waterfall shots are either "extractions" of small parts of the fall (ala Jim Kitchen's shot), or shots that show the falls in a significantly larger context (see Vaughn's Columbia Gorge shot).
