Ricketts Glen Waterfall

I don't think it's a distraction. I think you would expect to see some areas that are blown out in a long exposure
water fall photo. I really like this, with the mix of green and fall colors.

Very nice image. I like the comp. and colors a lot.

The comp, and scene are very nice! bright spots in the water look about right to me.

No, that water doesn't even look blown out. I like the scene and colors make it nice. Overall it seems a bit underexposed to me.

I agree with Tony, leave the water values where they are and up the exposure slightly everywhere else. Beautiful scene.

Beautiful autumn image, Brian. Water looks spot-on on this monitor; elegant contrast and motion. Very nicely done.

Pretty! Great flow to the falls. I agree with a slight brightening. Water isnt distracting, though the branches on the rhs are mildly distracting. Overall--great shot!

Beautiful moody image of this spot Brian! Water brightness doesn't bother me a bit--those darn branches in the top right distract a bit, but I'm a PA person myself and they seem to be everywhere!!

Very dark and moody - not sure if that's on purpose or not though. The "blown out" area doesn't really look very blown out to me, but I'm on my work monitor. Overall, I like the image.

Highlights in the water don't bother me a bit. I might prefer a slightly lower camera position to include a little more of water below the smaller falls at the bottom. Other than that, this works for me.

Great shot Brian. I agree with the gist of the above. A bit brighter and without the branches. The bright water looks fine.

I appreciate the kind comments and your suggestions for improvement are a huge help!! So much to learn but no better place than learning from the talent at NPN!!!
