    Default Lower Rosseau Falls

    Autumn color at Lower Rosseau Falls from October 2009. This waterfall is located in Ontario's Muskoka Region which is noted for its stunning fall color. Cloned a stick out from the cascade.

    18-70 mm lens @ 52mm
    ISO 100
    f22 @ 1.3 sec
    Nikon Polarizer

    Look forward to comments.

    Andrew,

    The shutter speed works well for the water... love the texture. The composition is pleasing and of course the fall colors adds a nice touch. I like the softness and quality of the light in the background, especially in the pines. Nicely done.

    Hi Andrew, Nice water flow with softness and detail. The falls appear to my eye to be a bit far to the rt compositionally. I was trying a crop and liked cropping up to the rock on the lower left. I also might back off a small bit on the saturation.

    Stunnin colours indeed, and I like the character of the rocks. Effective use of the SS to create motion blur. I can't help but think the image needs abit of CW rotation?

    Hey Andrew,
    I'm a bold color guy......so works for me but Dave is correct that it may be over the top for some! I can also see why Daniel wants a CW rotation......more of a feels like than actually needs....because for me....no real place to judge it! Very nicely done overall!

    really nice scene and colours here Andrew! I would leave the rotation if mine.
    does the water seem to have a cast to it?

    Much thanks for the comments guys, very much appreciated. Should be square to the world always use a bubble level in hot-shoe. I think there may be a little optical illusion happening here. Will check the water for color cast. Thanks again.

    Lovely vibrant colours and just the apt shutter speed to capture water motion. Image looks a bit soft on my monitor (perhaps some more sharpening might help??).
    Thanks for sharing.

    Andrew,

    I thought I would try some ideas on your image so decided to post it. This is what I did and why.

    1) Set a white point on the brightest point in the water - attempting to get the water whiter but still not white enough.
    2) Used Selective Color and removed all color from the white channel except black - water whiter.
    3) Reduce saturation overall and then in red and yellow channels (-7, -21,-8 respectively).
    4) Shadows/Hihglights and opened up shadows some, but relaly slide the whites slider over to bring more detail out in the water (Shadows = 25%,25%,30%, Highlights = 47%, 25%,30%, Color Correction +24, Midtone Contrast +1)
    5) Sharpened image.

    Of course any of this is a jumping off point.

    Thanks for posting.

    Thanks Kaushik for comments very much appreciated.

    Thanks Robert for the details of your tweaking, will apply that to the image, much prefer what you have done to it. When I compare it to my original post I am thinking I may have forgotten to sharpen the image prior to posting.

    Awesome spot, Robert's sorted out the sharpening nicely, cracking shot.
