a bit of both for me tbh, there looks to be a tad more contrast in the first shot than the 2nd but also like the nearer focal length of the 2nd

First one works better for me as well. I like having the calm, still water on either side of the small waterfall, seems to let the image breathe a little more. And the second one is a bit more overexposed, so you lose quite a bit of detail in the blown out highlights. Did you use any sort of filter (ND or CPL) on these? Comes in handy for capturing water in motion.

Nope, did not use any filters.

The subject matter is good, and the first shot is correctly exposed. I would probably take a tighter shot of the waterfall to take out the distractions in the background and an ND filter will allow for a longer exposure to blur the water for a nice effect, you'll need a tripod for that though.

Remeber the 'rule of thirds' I would try placing the waterfall on one of the 'third' lines instead of dead centre, as the waterfall is facing (to my) left, I would off center it to the right

All of the comments so far seem to be right on the money. You did a fantastic job, especially considering there was no filters being used. :judge:

Thats actually a valid point! Why didn't I think of it :unsure:

I learned a long time ago that rules are meant to be bent, and the rule of thirds is the first one.. The first is the nicer shot with no highlights blown. I would crop about 1/8 off the top, and about 1/4 off the right, placing the top of the fall just a little into the top right corner.

This is a beautiful shot, I like the first one the best. :)
