Dry Creek Falls

This is a pretty incredible shot Daniel! I've never seen such a beautiful sunstar rendered from the ol' 17-40. I really love the light spilling through and the tiny touch on the leaves of the branch in the FG. Only issues I see are that it looks very slightly oversharpened and there is just a tiny black dot (dust spot?) on the left of the main falls.

I like this one a lot. Nice composition, good shutter speed that kept a lot of nice texture in the water, and great colors plus a nice sunstar to top it all off.

One small item is that the log at the base of the falls changes the horizontal line and gives the impression the image isn't level. I don't really know if you can do anything about this, since rotating the image would make the rest of the image seem unlevel. Perhaps a tiny perspective correction using free transform in PS would help. Again, this is really minor, but the image is so strong, it makes fixing the tiny things even more important in my mind!

The greens seem too nuclear to me, but I like your inclusion of the sunstar...

The composition looks awesome
i like the sun here
excellent motion of the water
well done

Beautiful shot, that sunstar really adds a lot to the overall scene. I like how your shutter speed rendered the water. Nicely done Daniel. Not sure why this one doesn't have more comments

Thanks for Rick's comment about the green. I needed to remove some yellow cast from part of the image and ended up making all of the green too cold/blue. I can fix that.

Excellent timing and technique getting the sunstar so perfectly placed. Very nice!

I like the composition and the placement of the sun star.. If this was my photo I would crop 2-3% and include just the rays..
good control over exposure

Great rendition of these falls Daniel! Other than fixing the greens as you note, I love your treatment. I have yet to plan out/luck upon a sunstar with one of our falls; I'm jealous.

Hi Daniel, I think your Dry Creek Falls photograph is great. I have done a lot of rainforest work over a thirty year period. Try correcting the greens in photoshop by using selective color. Select green then carefully reduce the amount of cyan.
