Not bad. I like taller waterfalls where you can really hear and see the water crash down.

The house is about 15' away and you can hear it clearly thru the windows inside the house

I think it looks good, one thing I would suggest is to start with one then split into two streams.

Nice. I really like those white rocks! Haven't seen any like that around these parts. What pump(s) are you running there? 4500 gph?

Nice job. Your improving on every one. On your next one you might try some larger boulders in the setting. In nature the shape of waterfalls and streams are always dictated by the placement of larger (unmovable by nature) rock. The rock forces the water to seek a different direction, that is why you see large rock outcroppings a lot of times in a bend or fork in a river. The 'larger' rock has forced the water to move in a different path from where it wanted to go (direction change). This is not a stream I am showing here, but the principle of large rock being the dominant theme with the smaller rock simply filling in lends a more anchored look to it IMO.
