    Default Buffalo National River - Waterfall at Indian Rockhouse

    This image was processed in Low Key NIK s/w, Capture NX2. I then used Simplify to reduce detail to taste. Some cloning of leaves and twigs. Slight crop off bottom.

    I haven't done much in the way of landscape work, so any comments on composition and such are very welcome...........

    Jay, Nice to see you posting again. I like the composition very much. The waterfall coming down on the right looks like a beam of light-very cool! Nice job w/ the filtering also. The Simplify is subtle and not over done.

    Jay, I really like the comp, you did quite well with what you had to work with. Just the right amount of Simplify too! The only thing I might do if it were mine is tone down the brightest area at the crest of the waterfall.

    Hi Jay, this looks really good to me. I love the colors and the slow shutter speed to give the water that silky look. I'm a big fan of Simplify, it was my first love when it comes to filters. I wish the posted image were larger, as my old eyes have a hard time with the high resolution monitors these days... I'm not qualified to comment on the landscape aspect, but maybe Roman will put in his twenty cents worth.

    Jay, sweet! Thanks, it's much easier to see the nice detail.

    Beautiful composition, Jay. The larger repost certainly brings out the beauty. I like the SS and the effect of simplify. Composition wise, I like the flow and how it draws the eye. Lovely colors.
