Panther Creek Falls

This has a very unreal feel to it, in a good way. Great photo. Those yellow leaves on the right may be a little bright.

Oh this is wonderful. I love this, Daniel. The distortion of perspective with the trees leaning to the left and the branches even more so. If feels like all the shadows are going diagonally in the same way. But the falls, the main subject, is flowing in the opposite diagonal. There is also a sense as though you're looking directly across yet also downward because of those trees and the space below. I'm not sure about the bright trees coming in from the right frame. They do provide a certain balance, particularly the bottom one. It's a different take on waterfalls and that makes it intriguing.

Excellent comp and view of this beautiful falls without going into the abyss...
The angles add of lot of nterest and the orton gave the falls a bit of dazzle.
Really nice work.

Hi Dan,

I like the dappled light and vibrant colors in the comp. I like this one as presented...................Jim

Daniel,

This is wonderful.  I will admit I immediately thought Orton when viewing, but that's not a bad thing at all.  I think  you did a great job in selectively apply the technique to create a more dreamy and effective image.

I also agree about the angles between the trees and the falls.  this just looks good.

Also agree about the bright patches along the right.  A slight burn in those areas and this will be killer.

The combination the trees on the right and water on the left makes for a strong comp.  The motion in the water is spot on to me.  I like this one a lot.
