Little Duck River Falls

A really nice set of falls. Nice shutter speed to capture the water flow effectively. There are a few hot spots that I would suggest toning down, but overall a pretty capture.

I like the light you've captured. It looks like dust or water spots on the RH falls.

Very nice. I like the light coming in from the side.

I might consider cropping the top but otherwise a nice comp. Like Bill said, a few hot spots that are easily fixed. Also I would increase the contrast on the right side.

Richard,

This is very nice. I quite like that you've pretty much filled the frame with these falls. And the spot light near the center I think is what makes this image work for me. Yes, I would recommend dealing with the long highlights at the very top, but I think the highlights near center are the focal point of the image.

You might try either selectively toning down the brightness up top, or consider cropping the top. It's so close to the edge anyway that I don't think it would hurt the composition.

Also just noticed some either very large dust bunnies in the cascades on the right, or an attempt to clone them, but hopefully you can fix whatever that is from the original file. As an alternative suggestion, you might consider not only a crop from the top, but I think you could get away with that AND cropping about 1/3 off the right (solves the cloning issue too) I think the resulting comp let's the highlights in the middle work even better, and more emphasis is on the left side too.

A little tweaking and this will certainly be a keeper!

Nice layering in your comp and nice textures too. I like the warm highlights in the center.
