Along the creek I crawl to chase a waterfall

We recently have extended rain, and we need it. I drove from the Silicon Valley to La Honda, located on the peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. The hilly area is full of redwoods. I drove along a windy road among redwoods, and noticed a small creek. I followed the creek on foot until I found a small waterfall.

I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, desaturated the image, and added strong vignetting. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
