Artist Point Falls
I had to get out and shoot something after our big rainfall and this place is only 30 miles away from where I live. I was hoping for a little bit more green to be out, but at least there was adequate water.

Comments and critique welcome.

8 shot pano
f/8.0 @ 1.3 seconds with CP
ISO 50

You can find this place in the Arkansas Waterfall Guidebook on page 180.

There is more than enough green in the water to make the photos quite arresting. Lovely. Thanks for going there on our behalf. I am happy to let you go there for me when you bring back such lovely images.

Very nice shot, I like the colors in the water and the zig-zag of the waterfalls.

So this is an eight shot pano Aaron, nice. I assume that it's two stacked layers but were they taken in vertical orientation with horizontal panning or vice versa? Nice work on the stitching in any event, quite seemless.

I like the image as presented but for my tastes the image is a little oversaturated. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Nice image, Aaron, I need to put this on my lists of places to visit. I have to agree with Wayne, if you dial back the saturation, I think it will work better.

Thanks- I'll take that advice on the saturation levels. It's great hearing your well respected opinions.

It's actually 8 vertically shot pictures (with a heavy overlay) and a good crop. I wasn't sure what part of it I liked the best so I choose later... after a good crop it still has about 30 megapixels.
