Qualicum Falls

Found this on my hard drive and liked the water motion so decided to process it. Maybe a little tight at the top? Fall during pretty heavy rain with the odd break of brighter light.

All C&C greatly appreciated.

A great find, Bill. I really like the length of this rapid and how it disappears behind the foreground rocks. Great colors and composition.

That is a cool shot, Bill, and having the rock all the way across the foreground gives it an interesting look. I like the colors and looks like your shutter speed for the falls is perfect imo. Very nice!

The foreground rocks are a nice anchor and nice SS for the falls.
It is a bit tight at the top.

I like the way you handled the water: nice color and texture. The spots of fall color are an added bonus. Well done, Bill.

Beautiful exposure. I think you did a really nice job with the composition.

Love the power of this entire cascade here, Bill. The colorful foliage adds another dimension to the otherwise overall neutral color to the scene. Excellent work.

I really like your exposure for the water Bill. The orange leaves on the dark rock add a nice touch of color.

Love the details in the water and the composition works well for me too. Natural looking colors. Is there a lense flare at the top of the image?

This is beautiful as is, and the crop brings you right into the water. I love the bits of fall leaves in the foreground and around the edges, but I don't need any more. Lovely image.
