A nicely nestled waterfall, tended by rock and ferns.
Four RAW exposures, three for DOF (4/10 s, f/4, ISO 400; had to go with f/4 as the light was failing) and one for water detail (1/40 s, f/4, ISO 1600), hand blended in PS6, processed in LR5 including local tone adjustments and NR, TK resize/sharpening for web.
Canon T3i, EF-S 10-22 mm @ 14 mm, CPL

Seeking any and all advice and comments. Thanks in advance.

Please view the large image!

Great job on this one Ronald. Nice sharpness and detail throughout the scene and I like your composition. Well done.

Great scene and very nice image, Ronald. Nice job with the blending. The middle foreground isn't particularly interesting; don't know what else you had to work with above the falls but I might try cropping up a little from the bottom. Very nice work here!

Very nice composition here, Ronald. You really have nailed the "rule of thirds" for this, and the rock formations leading out at diagonals on both sides add a lot to the comp. Nice blending in post processing.

Beautiful little scene. If a comp was available to the left, so the water flow crossed the entire image, that would be a good comparison.

I like this beautiful image Ronald. It is well balance, captured, and presented to the viewer.
