Here is that second photo I promised. I'm on the fence with this one...not sure if I like it or not. Let me know what you think.

Well i like it alot. The nice light on the edges do it for me along with the nice composition.

I like it too. Inventive composition, great light on the moss, the curves of the moss covered rock, and nice detail in the water make this appealing to me.

Sweet shot.

Not quite the same impact as your PT falls shot, but the comp is good and it has potential, imo. The most notable issue here is the flat light on the foliage. Some selective contrast work on the greens could make this sing. I like that the foreground falls are brighter than the background falls - creates depth - but a slight boost to the brightness/contrast of the background falls might be worth experimenting with.

Hey this is a great shot! I like the framing of the falls by the hollow in the cliff to the right of the upper part of the falls. The comp overall is really nice. The water flow has some sweet details to catch the eye. Like Rick Dunn says, the foliage looks a little dull. Tweaking that just a bit would make all the difference in this already very good shot.

I like this a lot, Eric - I definitely think this is the best way to frame this falls, and love the light on either side of the lower drop. Beautiful!
