Magnolia Falls

I am not to sure about this one, I thought I would get some feedback from you guys on it. It is growing on me, but I am still not sure if I love it or not. Let me know what you think.

I love the composition but finding some leaves that were a bit less damaged would help the image. I THINK the holes in the leaves can be fixed pretty easily and I also THINK that even the leaf with the large chunk missing can also be fixed. And I really like how you have the flow from the falls not be truly vertical but at an angle.

I actually took out a couple of small holes that were pretty distracting, I figure that the leaves had some damage so why not show that. That is just my approach anyway. On the angle the camera was level I was just standing left of center. Thanks for your input. I will probably fix the rest of the small holes, but may leave the chunk.

I believe I took this during the time of Wyatt's folly.

When I look even closer now I would think just filling in the holes on the darker leaves to the right of image...they seem to take away from the whole image for me. Ah yes...Wyatts' Folly...it seems so long ago and still so fresh in my mind. I never sweated so much or was so exhausted. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger..wish I was out there today...conditions would have been good this afternoon with most of the rivers that way coming up.

I like your comp here Matthew, especially how there is green foliage in the bg diluted by the waterfall. Nice catch.
