I try and shoot waterfalls at interesting angles(if possible) and get a grain in the water while still showing motion. I find that 1/4 of a second most of the time will give me that effect. In previewing the image the trees in the backround are a bit soft but sharp before the conversion.
Hey Dave,
You know I'm done for the day down here in warm Fla.....so it's critique time. I'll give you a pass on the sharpness.....because i know your images are tack sharp........but we do have to figure out why they are being downsized to around 90 kb. We'll work on that.
Nice flow to the stream and the colors and rocks act as a nice framing element. The larger.....fanned out cascade.....acts as a very nice base. This also has a nice contrast between the more powerful flow.....and the delicate fan one..........now if only I can convice you to go out there and clean up those leaves in the left corner and ledge........in the field....nicely composed.
