Been trying to take a decent pic in this park for ages. Went looking for a supposedly hidden waterfall on Monday up north but ended up running into this right along the wildwood. Small, only 6 feet or so but luckily quite photogenic. Curious as to what you think of the foilage at the bottom? Thanks!

Canon Pro1 (new camera!) 3.2 Seconds at f/8, 3 Stop ND.

Neat capture, my only thought is that the greens in the vegetation look a little yellow, but that might be just me or my monitor. Other viewers?

Color looks fine, so does the comp. Seems pretty soft though.

I agree with Marc, a little soft. Definitely want the foliage at the bottom. Might want to get rid of that stick protruding in from the middle left and open up the shadows middle left. Sometimes what we find along the way to our destination is better than what we were after to begin with. Enjoy the new camera.

Eric, looks just a little yellow on my monitor also but I think it has to do with the new growth which tends to be this way in early Spring.

Yeah the wind blew around those leaves at the bottom a bit, I did take one shot as quick as I could get the shutter but they were waving too fast anyway.
