Maybe a bit too much ?

I really want to know your feedback on this. Is there too much going on in this photo ?
Thanks,
Tomas

Hmmm...I have seen a lot busier images, so I don't think that is the issue here. My eye just bounces around without a clear visual path from the waterfall to the sunburst and then I feel distracted by the foreground rocks. I think it is just a matter of composition. Not one where too much is going on, but where the elements are not working together.

How about a square crop chopping off the right side and a little bit of the left side?

I like it a lot, Tomas. I've seen stronger images compositionally, but I definitely don't think there's too much going on, even if the elements do compete a little bit. I'm a sucker for these types of shots.

I think this is simply AWESOME. The sunlight is not in the water where the waterfall is landing so the spacing is perfectly ok with me. It would be okay without the sun, but with it, it adds a dynamic that makes my "Oh My" meter turn on

It seems like it could use some CCW rotation however. I realize the back bank is curved, but I seem to tilt my head the way it is a little.

Unique and creative. Nice stuff.

I like it, but there is something I can't identify that doesn't click just right for me. I would like to see it a bit warmer too - it has that evil "water in the shade of a clear day" cast going on, which doesn't work well with the sunburst in the frame at the same time, imo.

Looks like a great location to me...I just wanna know where it is......

Great shot....I would personally shoot this as the sun is coming up....or going down!!!

Nothing overdone IMHO. Looks like you caught it at the perfect time. If I had a nit, it would be that tree touching the top of the falls.

Tomas, I do think you've got too much going on here. To me your highlights around the waterfalls compete with the sunstar; each is capable of telling a story by itself. Same with the reflections in the water. I do however applaud you for striving mightily with a high-contrast situation.....keep doing this & you'll be sharing my fascination with sunbeams & all.

& BTW.....consider the source re:my comment above. I seem to be outside the mainstream or consensus most of the time.....

Very creative. You went outside the box on this one and it paid off.

Tomas, I also feel there is a bit too much here. I like the sunstar and falls, but the bright reflections on the water make it too busy for my eye. If you could darken those up a bit I think it would help the image considerable.
