Spring Snowmelt

Comment by moodville:
The first thing I think of when I look at this is that it was taken in very harsh, probably noontime, lighting. The lighting doesnt really help the mood much for this setting. The assumed focal point seems to be the waterfall but due to the position in the image it is quite a secondary element. The real focal point seems to be the foreground rocks, but they dont really hold too much interest. The color of the sky also seems to not be natural to the lighting in the rest of the image and so it stands out more than it should. It is cliche but putting more emphasis and possibly a closer composition of the waterfall would be more favorable of an image.

This scene has a lot of potential. Different angle, different time of day and I think you have a winner here!

Interesting use of desaturation to focus on the subject. You could probably get by with cropping off almost the entire left half.

I don't think the desaturation adds anything to this at all, sorry

This is awesome! I love the road that leads up to this abandoned, interesting little house in the woods. Black and white really adds to this. This is one of my favorites. Good job!
