It was quite a tight fit down by the falls at 24mm. Next time I go back i'm going way back and doing it at 200mm. Live and learn though.

Nice what you got here. Notice the lines are better. They lead your eye where you want it to go, and no longer out of the frame.

Also, that orange/red moss (maybe?) on the opposite side looks good. Complements the green

I honestly have no idea what that red was. The water was too deep in that area to go look at it if I remember.

I really like cutting off important parts of waterfalls for some reason.

You must like tension. Note how, in your second version, the water doesn't yet get to the calm area (as Shanna did in her poem pic of the waterfall). She likes to come back to the calm. You leave us hanging.

Cutting off what you think should be there, leaves us in an unknown territory. We think, what is missing? Why did he leave it (or cut it) out? Is there something there he doesn't want to show us?

Hitchcock was a master at that in films. What you don't see is a lot more scary than what you do see.

Rosemary's Baby is another example. A friend of mine was the DP, and asked Roman, "When are we going to see the baby"? We never do. Just a close up of the eyes at the end.

If that's the message you wish to convey. It works.

It appears to be iron deposits that have leaked out from under the rock during a heavy flow. Looks cool.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Good exposure. Held just enough detail in the water. Nicely done on that part.

Thanks, it could be better. If you haven't figured out by now, i'm usually a perfectionist.

I'm going with a small group tomorrow back down to the falls. There's 5 different falls in one area. Last time we went (last year) only 2 were open, there was road construction. So i'm hoping to see what the other 3 are like.

Scotty, this is sooo beautiful......as you know, I love waterfalls and any moving water..... If you've got a wider lens, OMG, I would Love to see That! Good luck when you go back, I hope they've got the other falls open. :)

Thank you Matthew, that was a sweet thing to say. For me, it's important to bring things back around so you feel a sense of peace and a sense of closure as well. :)

I believe that there is an explanation for everything, so, yes, I believe in miracles. ~Robert Brault
