This is a much photographed waterfall in the Bernese Oberland in switzerland. I tried a different comp here. Hope this works.

A unique comp, and I like the peek-a-boo look to the buildings and the lake beyond. Cool.

Very unique perspective Bill. The framing using the over hanging rock and trees on the right work well.

Interesting composition which is very effective, no nits, well processed and very pretty.

Wow, this is a unique view! I think the comp works well, and the exposures/blend is perfect.
As nice as this is, I wonder if it might be a little more impressive if the angle was just a bit wider. Of course, for all I know, there was nothing more to see on the bottom and left, but I am just imagining more of the stream and the landscape on the left side, since the falls seems to almost touch the frame, leaving us with only a tiny glimpse of the view on the other side of the water. But I guess the fact that this turned on my imagination shows how well THIS composition works!

Hi Bill, This is an interesting image and a very cool looking scene. I like what you did here creating this view, and it looks especially nice in your larger version. Nice work!
