Really solid work Rich. The composition is very solid and the textures and colors of the rocks are magical. I just wish you could have toned down the whites of the white water a bit...
This is a really nice capture of that waterfall! I like that you were able to get so much of the length of it...makes me feel as though I'm travelling alongside.
I love the bottom half of the frame but the top half looks kinda cloudy. I'm torn, one one hand I think it adds someting. on the other I'm not 100% fond of it. but great colors and composition.
I didn't even look at the Rule of Thirds challenge. Wow, I missed out. This is a lovely image. Looks like a painting. I hope you print it large and hang it on the wall, it's simply beautiful.
Very powerful image here.....
The background seems a little soft in color, compared to the rest of the image.
I also love the painted effect, as I do this with most of my images.....
first of all... it's a lovely shot..
I would have loved a little more sky in the composition..
but as it is.. it's lovely..
The post processing for the photo could give it a vast improvement.. try tweaking it a little to get a little more richness and vibrancy for the colours.. :)
Finally.. the overall feel is quite nice.. with a little "dreamy" feel to it.. Keep it up..
Great point of view and subject matter, but the lighting seems kinda harsh (lots of blown out water) and I'm not seeing how the rule of thirds helps you here.
