Phil said it best.... I feel as if I am walking on the trail right beside you and approaching the falls. The angle from which you shoot probably has a lot to do with that...
Yosemite is so lovely in spring with a surprise every single minute.
Beautifully composed -- many photographers would have placed the falls in the middle of the image because they are the subject here. By placing them off to the side, you stress the placement of the falls, making it seem as if we are discovering it for the first time.
