This is a very nice image - I suspect it could be a tad better if you darkened down the centre bit some, and sharpened overall. One technique I like is to add another copy layer in Photoshop, then adjust contrast/sharpening on that layer, then erase away the bits you want to stay soft or lighter, then layer down to save. I suspect you may do that already though, but it's an interesting way to add to a background, or spray colour or enhancing light or shadow, and still remove it from your actual main item.

(I think I have one of these cameras or similar if Gaurav wants it - just contact me and you can have it - no need for blood my friend)

Oh, my Gosh! - what a corking shot! The rocks look wet - I assume from fallout from the falls - I would worry that my camera would get soaked, and go Phut on me. Is this not the situation? I have never been to the falls, and wondered how close you are to the water.

Lovely mysterious look to the pix - and fairly rich contrast, yet misty and subdued in the distant fog - a curious and striking combination - Nicely done!!

Good subject well composed.
Needs indeed a sad mood, but the light is here more flat than sad.

I can't believe you haven't ribboned before! This, though, is a very worthy photo to be your first ribboner - lovely atmospheric image, with just a hint of something rather ominous. Good work!
