Moss Glen Falls
by Justin Reznick
After seeing Joe Rossbach's recent take I thought I would post mine. I arrived the first week of October and all the foliage had fallen from the trees. I was pretty disappointed until I found some swirly opps.
I used many different shutter speeds and assumed I would end up with a 20-30 second as a keeper. It turned out I liked this 4 second exposure best. It provided enough texture and form in the leaves to provide more interest.
Canon 7D, Canon 10-22mm, ISO 100, f/16, 4 sec.
Thanks in advance for the C&C's!

I just love the dreamy look of the falls here. Kinda contradicts the mesmerizing mass of motion in the leaves, but certainly makes for a bold and interesting combination. I really like the rich color and contrasts here.
To be honest though I'm not completely sold on the composition. I know that the intent was to include both the falls and the pool of leaves. But in order to do that, at least from this perspective, was to push the falls slightly to the left and include the rock wall on the right. Fortunately there is detail in the rock wall, but I find it a little dark and heavy. But to be fair, it doesn't kill the image and I'm probably just being way to nit picky....

Thanks for the feedback on the comp, I did everything i could to exclude as much of the wall as possible. This was the best I could do with the options available. I agree 100 percent with your critique and appreciate your always thoughtful feedback.
Great color too
