The goal was to demonstrate the controlled blur technique. Freeman mentions using the elements within the picture to frame the subject and guide the eye, so I attempted to use the foliage and branches to keep the eye at the waterfall. I think this works at least a bit, but maybe a little more cropping to tighten the frame, or taking that one branch that juts out out of the picture maybe would be a little less distracting. I adjusted levels and vibrance/saturation, removed a leaf that was blocking part of the waterfall, and cropped the picture.
