    Default Waterfall Fractalius

    Tried Fractalius on this waterfall image from a few years ago. I usually prefer to shoot waterfalls on overcast or rainy days. When I arrived at High Falls in Ontario's Muskoka region the sky cleared. I thought I'd see what the falls looked liked from beneath the cascade. For this one I used the Glow 100 preset, did some tweaking and further tweaking in Viveza.

    Look forward to comments.

    Cool, Andrew! This looks like a white hot volcanic eruption!

    Andrew, Dan really nailed it! It does look like a white volcanic eruption. I like the detail you kept in the whites.

    Andrew,

    Wow, that has impact. Love the fractalius effect on the water and how you kept detail there. If it were mine I might be tempted to remove the cloud. Well done.

    Andrew, I love what Fractalius does with water! This looks great, with the white fracty look and the nice blue sky. I'm with Richard on the cloud - I can see the "yin/yang" aspect of the composition but I would be tempted to try the simpler look without it.

    Thanks folks for the comments, very much appreciated! I agree on the cloud. In the original it looks just fine, but with the fractalius effect it kinda bugs me a little too
