The often shot ponytail falls. I tried to create a top left to lower right movement with this image. Seems a tad dark to me and I am wondering if my uploader is causing this.

Hope everyone is having a great long weekend, there has been plenty of "waterfall loading" going on.

Wow, a beautiful capture Bryan, I applaud the composition and love the rocks and water. Congrats!

Bryan,
I agree... bump this up a bit and you have a winner. Yes it was a good weekend!

This is excellent, great comp of this sweet little falls. You have created a wonderful compositional flow, well done.

A classic. Hard to go wrong with this location. Nice use of the foreground rocks. There is a very small tilt CW that could be fixed and I'd like to see the top of the falls closer to the original, without the grey in the highlights. A little blown highlight there is fine. It probably looks darker because of this bright white background.

Hey, Bryan, that's a refreshing shot. Nice going.

Everything works for me, but the rocks seem lacking in color - almost too black, no warmth. Still very nice - I like the rocks at the very bottom and the water flow.

Great composition of this icon Bryan, and perfect exposure of the water for my tastes.

Those greens are really exploding up there now, aren't they? Very nice shot.

I love this take on the falls. The way the greens on the distant rock faces stop at the rock adjacent to the falls really adds to the composition IMO. And the texture and contrast in the water is perfect. I'd kind of like to see the bottom of that 4th foreground boulder to finish off the image.

I don't see an image... All I get is a flicr logo and a msg that says This photo currently unavailable
