I really like the textures created by the water and rocks. I think cropping some of the trees at the top would improve this because the edge of the stream seems too centered.

I love the way you've found an audience. :) Very nice capture of a moody scene. The contrasting sky and colors is quite vivid. The greens may be pushed just a tad too much (looks unnatural, although it very well may BE that green). Good luck in the challenge.

Greetings from the critique club :)

Well hello there buddy, what´s up! Personally think this image is underrated but still, I can understand the score. Think it mostly has to do with the fact that waterfall photos like this are very frequent there at DPC, especially during the summer months so you really need to put something extra into them these days to get high scores. You are of course aware of the blown highlights and definately think that hurt the score. I don´t really mind them, of course I would want more texture in those areas but they don´t really hurt the shot much I think, just a lot of DPC voters can´t stand them and draw away points for that.

At least the majority of the voters gave you a 6, that´s good. I don´t understand the high number of 4 votes, maybe people who are tired of waterfall photos like this and maybe some that didn´t really see any rythm to the photo.

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

The photo does not convey an extreme emotion for me. It's a very nice photo, but not good for this challenge in my opinion.

A nice, sharp picture with good colour and contrast, but there's no real emotion conveyed.

I know you have probably recieved many comments on how this does not meet the challenge. I think it is a good photo and I'm sure he was feeling emotion being secluded with nature and his camera- The only problem is the viewer does not feel it. Hope this helps.

Wow, beautiful scenery! My only recommendation would be to crop a bit off the top...particularly in this case because the sky is rather dull, I don't feel as though it adds anything to the shot.

Pretty, and I can identify with the emotion.
