According the critique of dear Frank (Dingo), I cropped the black lines and a part of the horizont on the upper side!

Αγαπιτέ μου φίλε

IMO what is impressive in your shot is the height of this waterfall - amongst others due to the lack of water ;o). Your inclusion of the figure gives us a splendid view of this, but I think you did wrong choosing for a landscape option. I chose for a crop in portrait mode, and in doing so I avoided some of the washed out spots in your picture.
After I cropped, keeping the person on the left 1/3rd line but still including the tree leaves on the left, I selected the most burnt out spots with PictureIt's Magic Wand - which made me really feel like if I was Harry Potter ;P) - and selected Touchup / Exposure & Lighting, reducing both "highlights" and "contrast" by - 75.

Finally I added a small border with a fade-in effect.

Τι νομίζεις Μπάμπη; Hope you like it...

As you said, the picture was tilted, Μπάμπη.
I straightened it, then cropped to a wider aspect, and doing so I brought the horizon on the top 1/3rd line.
Then I selected the islet and applied auto-levels.
And sharpened it with PictureIt 10's "sharpen more" setting.
What do you think ?

My man! When I sent the photo a few minutes ago, I noticed that the photo was tilt to the left. This a 1 degree CW rotated version and more "right". Sorry guys!
