McCormick Creek Falls, Spencer, IN 9-1-7
View of the falls on Labor Day holiday. Wasn't sure of water flows but took a chance and it paid off nicely! Went to Cataract falls just up the road and it was ok but a lot of people were hanging out enjoying the water and fishing. A good day trip overall though. :cool:

Jimmy,

I'd probably do one thing to help this image. My eye is distracted by the reflections on the very bottom.. I'd probably crop off that as well as a bit on the left to move the waterfall just a little to the right, off center. Otherwise, nice capture.

I remember McCormic creek way back in my IU days!

I agree on the crop Jimmy, I would slap a little sharpening on this as well, do all that and you will have a winner. BTW I didn't see that much water when I was there :wink:

That's funny - Bernie I was thinking the water is really down! It has been dry though....

Nice shot Jimmy - I'll go along with the sharpening and maybe the crop as well....

Throw on a little sharpening, add an S-curve to increase contrast, bump up the saturation a tad and you've got a winner.

I agree with the guys on this one regarding the crop. I'd also probably warm up the color balance a touch...certainly a matter of taste though. Nice waterfall.
