Niagara Falls LE in the Rain

Hi Leo,

I note you're a new member, here and your first entry was a great success, then was disqualified. Although this one didn't score as well as the first one, I think it has lots of potential. As in your first entry, you've made effective choices for slower shutter speed creating an attractive blur in the moving water. For this image, I think the "interesting sky" contributes to overall flat lighting and has the effect of creating a overall low-contrast image.

I don't know what your processing workflow is, but if this is a raw image, you should have some leverage with shadow and highlight adjustment that might provide a wider range of tonal contrast.

Glad to see you joining our community. Looking forward to seeing more!

I agreed with Sid's critique. A fabulous image that didn't meet viewers expectations about the challenge theme.

Wanderer's Vertigo

Sébastien - It's definitely moody and I gave it a 8. For me, I get a sense of cold and damp, perhaps even eerie stillness. Not so "dizzy" though, although I do recall the completely disorienting sensation of snow blindness where fog and snow blend to completely deny any sense of direction. A bit more fog and this might bring a similar sensation. Regardless, it's a great image and you handled the blending composite well.

Among my favorites this round. I feel like I have to lean back to avoid falling.
