Cascade Overlook

Altough the image is somewhat small, I really like what I see, nice deep greens and great flowing water. The dark corners create a sort of spotlight on the cascade, well done!

Fresh perspective Robert. Nice shot!

I like the way the bright falls stand out from the dark background, although I feel the vignetting is a bit too heavy (I think you should still keep it, but dodge a bit to bring out a hint of detail).

It's interesting, but I feel that there is too much happening at the same time- branches, water and the deep shadows distract me a bit.

I like how dark this is. Moody and mysterious.

Nice view it gives me vertigo as it seems I'm falling. I really like that as many times my pics taken from a high point lack the same thrill you feel at the place.
Well done!

I really like the dark presentation, but I agree with Guy - a bit more detail in the darkest areas might help.

It looks like you have a great subject to work with here, but I'm not sure the overhead perspective is working for me on this one. I feel detached from the falls --- which makes me lose connection with the subject. It looks as though there is a lot of potential here, but it also looks like that's a very steep drop to the falls, and a lower perspective might not be an option.

Robert,

I actually kinda like the overhead perspective - it's a bit different and causes me to wonder about the steepness, the vantage point, etc. As mentioned, it's tough to get a good handle on the comp at this size. You can post up to 720px and as a member have the option of posting a secondary image up to 1200pix. At this size, I would agree that there is a lot going on and despite the interesting perspective, I'm left wanting to see more; either a wider view, or more detail in the shadows as others have already suggested.

Looks like a challenging and lovely place to photograph. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Believe it or not, I didn't add any vignette to this image. I don't know if it is something in this sites compression or due to resizing, but It prints beautifully on my Epson at 13X19 with excellent shadow detail. Also I finally, I think, figured out the posting of larger sizes on this site.
Thanks!
