    Default Small Cascade - Version #2

    Here is the vertical version to my previous post of this same scene with my 'waterfall setting' preset in Topaz BW Effects.

    Look forward to comments.

    I like what your preset does to the water. And the composition is very, very good. The ledge divides the image vertically at just the right place, and the positions of the two parts of the falls are placed just right horizontally. Very well done.

    You have come up with a great preset for waterfalls. I love the way the water flows off of the ledge.

    Andrew, nice comp on this. Feels well balanced. Great textures in the rocks. I have a personal preference for less detail in the water fall, but this is seeming to be your hallmark style of waterfall image. I like it a lot, just as it stands. I take it back, as I look again, there's plenty of action and a feel of motion in the water. Great stuff.

    Vertical and water falls... very well matched, Andrew. I really like the lighting/mood and the water action is engaging. Great work in the processing/rock texture also.

    Very nice, Andrew, nicely composed, well executed and processed. Great textures,soft light and color. Maybe crop a sliver off the left and tone down the ULC slightly. Nice work!

    Andrew, I like this one a lot. The vertical waterfalls stands out here. Great use of the filter. Nicely done!

    I have to agree, you've developed a great pre-set for waterfalls. Not much more to say that hasn't been said. Composition and processing are great, and I really like the difference in texture of the water and rock.
