Small Waterfall

Pure whites, deep rich blacks. What's not to love? Plenty of depth in this as well. This is what B&W photography should be about. The same qualities that made the masters famous.

Interesting scene, Bill--i like it! I think you could dodge the falls just a bit, otherwise looks perfect!

Very nice, Bill. Pleasing composition.

This is a beautiful image Bill. Your b/w conversion worked so nice here. Great comp and I love the mood and feel of this image. Really nice work!

Looks great in b&w! The visual clarity is striking and I really like your composition with the falls off to the side but attracting most of the attention.

WOW, this is one of those lost in the thumbnail images. This is truly wonderful once you get to the larger version, Bill. I think the B&W shots have a harder time coming across in the smaller sizes in many cases.
The detail and tones in the larger version makes the scene come to life. At first glance I thought maybe the balance was a bit weighted here, but the tree does work just fine with the waterfall on the left quadrant. In fact, the extended limb and the leaning tree actually guide our eyes back towards the waterfall. Nice work as always.

This is breathtaking. A fine composition with outstanding crafting. Just enough hint of detail in the foreground snow to give it a wee bit of texture.What impresses me most is the background, including the small falls. A far cry from Gulf Breeze!

Difficult scene to compose Bill, and you did a beautiful job with it, excellent exposure along with a peaceful mood, I like this alot. Well done.

Bill,

Looks like b&w winter scenes is the theme recently. This is a beauty. I'm really enjoying the arrangement of elements, especially the little cascade. Also, and I think the understated secret of this image is the background; the bg beyond the long diagonal trunk is intriguing to me. Speaking of the diagonal, I'm a little torn on it's presence. Hard to figure out if it's a branch falling down from the bigger tree, or a separate tree leaning way over.

The only suggestion I have is a slight crop from the bottom. There's a lot of snow in the LRC and not much being added in the LLC. But of course, just a thought and suggestion, I'm happy with it, if you're happy with it!

Excellent job on the processing btw.

Very nice shot, Bill. Agree about dodging the falls a bit, but overall very pleasing to view, and the black and white works perfectly.

I really like the comp here Bill. I agree with the other comments about slightly dodging the highlights in the water. Overall this is a wonderful winter image.

This is excellent, Bill. The textures and contrasts here are perfect.

Nice composition, beautiful B&W tones. Your isolation of the falls from background detail is well done.

Beautiful winter waterfall. I really like this as B&W, nice conversion.

Wonderful, quiet, peaceful winter scene, Jim. Your choice of b/w was just the ticket. Love all the diagonals that lead the eye throughout the image. Outstanding.

Nice tonality and great composition.
