The golden color really adds to this tiered waterfall scene Julian. It's a good third element!

I agreed w/ you on my last past about keeping the haze for distance.

Nice waterfall and scene. The colors seem a bit intense to my eye, but the golds do make the image pop.

A very interesting set of cascades and the color looks good on my tired old monitor. :smile: I could see cropping some off of the bottom to keep all the lines of the cascades as diagonals. The bottom has a flow to the left and that brighter rock which leads me off of the main flow. It's just mildly distracting. Still, a beautiful image.

Wow, this cascade just seems to go on and on and on...

I like the warm reflected light in the foreground as well as the nice greens in the background. The perspective is also nice as it leads my eye upstream.

Julian - I really love the blue and green tones in this image. The green shades on the rocks also add a lot of interest to the scene. A very nice, calming scene.

Beautiful image, Julian. The terraced formations are really amazing and your composition works very well. Love the color, especially the lush greens and the golden hues in the rock.

Very nice Julian. A really pretty falls with all the layers and the blue/gold mix looks wonderful. I also really like the rich greens of the forest in the background. Very nice!

The golds and blues really compliment each other. Shutter speed right on.

Julian,

Lovely cascade scene. I really like the tiered layout creating the cascades. Although I'm sometimes over-sensitive to the blues in an image, I really like the gold-blue-green color combo working here. Very pleasing to view. Nice job with this one.
