    Hi folks!

    Here's a shot from last fall at the Darnley Cascade.

    Honest critiques please!!

    Hey Paul, I like the reflected greens and golds but the white area is a little too strong and dominating here. A crop unbalances the image to me also. Shadow/highlight brought it back but I still feel it needs something in that corner. As it stands, I just want a stronger anchor. The front leaf is almost enough.

    Hi Paul,
    The other Paul brought out some more testure in the whites nicely. As it stands....I also agre that the diagonal split of the image isn't the most effective. The best I could come up with is a crop just below the g in your signature in the re-post......this seems to put more emphasis on that leaf and minimizes the distracting white of the UR corner.

    Paul's repost brought out the detail in the upper left but I agree with Roman's comment about the diagonal split and his crop suggestion. In this image my eye plays back and forth between the 2 halves and it's difficult for me to rest on something. The colors in the image and texture are very nice!

    Hi Paul,

    I would have to agree with the above. Diagonals are strong in images and if you have an additional diagonal layering in the BG that would have made the comp. Agree that now, my eye goes back and forth from the two areas.
