Shot with a simple canon powershot A95. Dont have the techs with me. The mist is from the Falls. This is an old image( 05) and I never used to do any PP then. I need to revisit it...handle the whites and boost the sharpness and color sat a bit I think.

All C&C welcome.

Hi Kaustubh, I like how you framed the image with the river offset. The different hues of colors within add alot to the interest along with the mist. I agree with some of your comments regarding correction. I would be careful not to overdue the saturation.

To me this image is a perfect candidate for local contrast enhancement (see my tutorial at http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20434). On a BG copy using USM set at 20/50/0.

I did not do any other corrections as I wanted the LCE affect to be seen.

I like the strong diagonal lines of the ridge leading to the river. I feel that placement of the river in the center here was a good choice. The eye follows it into the image with good symmetry of the slopes on each side.

Robert, thx for taking the time. I will go through the tutorial as you suggested.
