This is the top of Laughing Whitefish Falls, near Munising in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, photographed last weekend, with the start of fall and all the yellow and orange leaves falling on the rock slopes.

Bruce this is striking in b&w! You composed this so well - the diagonal falls lead your eye right across the entire image. The water is perfectly exposed - really showing off the angles of the water flow. It's just lovely to look at!

Bruce,
I like the idea here. the diagonal from upper right to lower left and stopping mid frame with the larger water falls. Then the eye follows the ribbons off the lower left. I do however see the blacks as too black, particularly the upper 2/3 rd's from left to right. At least to me, it needs some more tonal range and details. It is a great idea and framed well. Perhaps it's just me on the blacks. A thought.

Excellent composition and contrast you have here Bruce. Great effects on the water with the slow shutter speed.
Congrats
