This was taken in Costa Rica. Searching for a different vantage point I hiked downstream and waiting for the light to open the bottom of the falls. I do have compositions with the whole falls on my website, but I wanted to present this alternative comp here. This waterfall is surrounded by higher terrain, kind of down in hole. I really liked the way the first light striking the falls created the open shadow areas. Let me know what you think, composition, processing, etc.

Please check the large verion

Seen a lot of waterfalls and runoffs here but this one has a great comp and execution.

I think maybe a crop of the brighter leaves across the top really puts the emphasis on the creek and falls a little more, but this is a fine rendition of these beautiful falls and the surrounding area.
