I like the flow of the water - the slow speed makes it very satiny. The trees in the foreground are sa biut distracting though. If you get the chance, try shooting this from other angles - wherfe you can get the foreground free of distractions, and perhaps show more of the depth of the stream. Only other problem is the over-exposed area along the top through the trees. I would crop it a little tighter along top to eliminate this area all together.
I just love waterfalls. Keep up the shooting. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Just don't fall into the trap of submitting to micro-stock libraries.

Welcome to dpchallenge. I've been here only a few months myself and have learned a lot.

Really like the water shot. The sunlit parts are a bit overexposed. Maybe you could try moving in a bit closer.

Like the framing in the b&w shot but doesnt really grab the attention.

what do you mean

Shutterstock.com....
Istockphoto.com....
for example.

They pay out anywhere between 20c and 60c for a download of your work.
Unless you like those numbers I suggest if you wish to submitt your work to a stock library, don't touch them. These sites are ruining the stock industry. I really don't see the point staring at the computer screen for 4-6 months while watching your earnings tick over by 20c at a time before you get to take out your pay at US$100, when a single sale on a PROPER library can pay that out in one hit.

I'll probably get an ear-full after these comments but if you are serious about using your camera to earn money, don't undersell your hard work.

What do you mean by a 'proper' library?
