Tunnel Falls
I shot this one of Tunnel Falls at Clifty Falls State Park, I tried just isolating a piece of the falls, any suggestions or comments. I am not exactly sure how I feel about the comp ?

I think I feel the same way Bernie! There is alot going on here with the texture of the broken rocks,shadows, and the motion of the falls. I do like the B/W of the rocks, very nice. Are different views or angles afforded at this location? It has alot of potential.

Interesting isolation shot, Bernie. I like the b/w treatment and how this shot cloaks the size of Tunnel and makes a sense of scale essentially impossible. Makes you guess.

I assume you took this shot from the observation platform adjacent to the falls. I know how difficult it is to get a clear shot of Tunnel Falls from along that trail. I'm guessing that, unless some trimming has been done, this perspective is no longer available.

Bernie, I'm also intrigued by this image. I really like the BW treatment, and the rocks in places remind me of burnt logs. There seems to be a lot of room on the left that feels wrong, but then I take another look and it seems very right. I know one thing, this image made me think and made me stare at it for a long time, which are good indications you've accomplished your mission for viewers. Very cool image. Thanks for sharing it.
