West Burton falls in the Yorkshire Dales; following on from the two hot topics in the forum, I thought I'd post a landscape instead of a captive bird
Nikon D2X 20-35 f/2.8 CIR PL, 0.6 ND, flash -2.5 stops on rear curtain sync to add a bit of sparkle and brightness to foreground. exposed at 100ISO f/16 for around 2 seconds
Beautiful falls and greens .I could pass many hours in a place like this .
This doesn't look like like a captive landscape ...
Something about the Lhs is unsettling .
Thanks very much for the technical details .
Best wishes

Aesome , for me it would of been the icing on the cake if a dipper was the green rock. (WILD DIPPER)
Great environmental shot John

Look forward to seeing the (c) Goshawk

Hi John
a very nice scene with some very nice colours. I feel like jumping into the picture and moving that beautiful stone with the moss on it a little to the left and I feel it would balance the picture better IMHO.

Hi John
Cracking image, nice composition with deep rich colours and good use of fill flash!
Very nice! Perfect placement of the falls, and I like the huge foreground. I do find my eyes drawn to the bright foliage at the top - perhaps if that was toned down, and then the whole image lifted a bit?

One of the best shots of these falls I've seen.

A lovely serene scene. Nice to see a landscape example of how flash can be used to good effect.
