A much photographed spot in Northern Tasmania, I'm not sure this one has too much merit, but haven't had much to post lately so criticism and suggestions welcome. Compositionally compromised due to my lack of the mountain goat gene, and a bit lacking in dynamism (apart from the cascade obviously) due to lower than hoped water levels. I know its a pretty scene, but does it really make it as a landscape photograph?

i might try to give the mid tones a bit more pop. Right now the bottom right corner seems kinda empty. I could see a square crop.

The left 2/3's is stronger, I think, than the right 1/3. Not sure if it'd work better square, but just a thought. Agree with Paul that popping the greens might be worth playing with too.

Yeah thanks, I agree about the bottom right but I like the canyon in the upper right so I don't really want a square crop. This one has gone part of the way, plus a boost to the greens.

I like the original Neale. Never seen a pic of this falls myself, so it's a nice change from all the Northwest Pacific here.

Those ferns look huge!
