    Hi dan, i like the way you framed this with the vegetation in the FG following the waterfall. The water could be a bit brighter as it looks somehow fainted.

    Hi Dan,

    Interesting composition as the scene is split into two equal parts of waterfall and foliage. I am not sure if that really works for me, but it's definitely one way to look at the gorgeous Columbia gorge; forgive me for the bad pun. In terms of processing, what Luis said about the water; but I also note that the green looks a little weird on my screen.

    Hi Dan

    Nice scene and composition, but i do think your masking is a bit blotchy.. the most obvious is a line through the RH waterfall not far from the top..

    Hi Dan...this is different from your typical waterfall posts...it seems to be lacking in contrast which is giving it a softness...not sure if that was intentional, but I like the look and feel. The cascading water could be brightened a touch, but not too much.
