Good composition. I like how the water seems to glow.

Daniel, This is very nice. The falling water looks fantastic and I love the glow on the moss covered rocks. What a great looking place this is and you captured it very well.

One of your best water falls, IMO, with the diagonal composition and the moody light. Simply beautiful

Imposing composition and the water seems almost lit from within, very cool! :toast:

I ike the diagonal placment of the falls in your comp. Makes for a dynamic shot. Excellent luminosity and color, too.

Beautiful capture Daniel. Everyone seems to love the diagonal presentation (except me :biggrin: ) makes it look a little off kilter in my eyes. Love the vibrant greens and the silky water.

Joana, thanks for your comment. I use the shift action of the 24mm TS lens in this circumstance to create a pano of as many as 3 shifted images from the same camera placement - no need to change the camera angle, just shift the lens. In this case, once I'd looked at what I had I decided that what I liked better was the impact of just the upper 2 (actually one and a half). Hope that helps.

Wow that is a lovely waterfall! Overall I think I would prefer a tighter crop, since the surrounding landscape (particularly on the right) makes it feel like the waterfall is falling over.

Daniel, your amazing composition based on the repetitive pattern works extremely well for me. The greens add a lot and really bring the image to life in my opinion.

Magical light coming from the water and the moss adds tremendously to the total image. The perspective is a little odd but not enough to ruin this beautiful scene.

Nice colors and shutter speed Daniel. The glowing greens look excellent. I know it's an illusion, but for some reason it feels the waterfall is tipping over to the right.
