So different, I love it 
''hope the image works for you'' is a understatement Alun.
Wonderfully controlled exposure with excellent detail and processing.
A pleasure to view and award my UA

Thanks all and to Andy and Ken for their badges
The mono bug is still there so I've added a split-toned version.
Beautiful, and the falling water is perfect so 1/10 is the way to go. Thanks. I needed that. TG
Great PoV and the shutter speed shows the water movement really well. For my tastes this looks a bit HDR; unnaturally bright in all areas for such a sunny day and a bit grannular in the details. Not sure how this happened, was it an HDR process? I reckon a bit more tonal range and shifting the histogram to the left in your RAW editor by reducing the exposure or adjusting curves would correct this. Looks like a place worth revisiting.
Thanks everyone.
Not HDR but Al's observation does reflect a conscious decision on my part to go for a more painterly effect. The sunlight was quite strong and I applied a mild Orton effect that has boosted the midtones to a level that imparts the appearance of an illustration rather than perceived reality. Definitely not my usual approach. I did like the split-toned effect in v2 though.

A terrific composition and perfectly timed water movement Alun. The processing of the colour file may not be strictly 'realistic' but I really like it. That said I love the split toned version. Absolutely superb.

V2 sends it back to biblical times. TG
Beautiful photo, great composition and flow.
I am 100% with Al in that I definitely prefer V2 as V1 looks a bit too much HDR for my very personal taste but I can see why a lot of people like the effect.
V2 on the other hand as all the atmosphere, details and light/shadows I love. Perfect conversion! And as the others say - the flowing water is absolutely brilliant.
