Nice lighting!!! Just for fun I would also try a square crop of the right side of this frame, completely cutting out the smaller waterfall on the left.

Reminds me of Hawaii. Really enjoy the colors and the composition works for me.

Were those tree's and grass really that green? Nice looking photo otherwise.

Well, this has thirds everywhere, but is not nearly as interesting to me:





I like this one better:





But not in love with either. The image doesn't seem to support a tighter 2x3 crop, either.

No, the foliage was not this green in real life. I did some work to bring out the existing colors everywhere. It seemed more vibrant in real life than what I captured.

Thanks much!!

Well, I wasn't thinking "interesting". What I was thinking was "tranquil". What I would hope to see on the wall in my dentist's office.

I would crop the brown patch on the left and the shallow water in the front for a simple green/white look.

Oklahoma would have been my last guess for location.

I like the 'contrast' between the two 'waterfall' areas. Overall image is pleasing indeed.

So, like this?




That's interesting. Serene enough, but still keeps my eye wandering. Also removes the sense of location one gets from the shallow water's edge.

A little bit too much crop on the left but you are getting closer to the real image I think.

Okay, added a bit on the left, still keeping the 3x2 aspect ratio, and bumped the vignetting a bit.

I personally thinks it fits a 16 x 9 ratio better myself, but different strokes as they say. I cropped it that way and included all the little streams in it on the right and I thought it came out nicely. Personal choice on the ratio.

Ah. So, this:




OK, I like that. It's just an unusual size for printing. But it works well, yes.

Very nice, and I like the final crop. I'm not too far from Oklahoma these days...where exactly was this?

Natural Falls State Park, almost to Arkansas. June. Would be a fun place to walk/hike around in cooler weather.
