I'm trying to decide whether to include this photo on my website. At first it ended up on the cutting board, but now I'm having mixed feelings about it, and wanted to get your guys' impressions.

Even though it's a small element in the comp, I'm not crazy about the blown sky in the ULC. Love the falls though. Maybe a B and W conversion would look better?

Hi Bryan,
I agree w/Pam about the sky. I don't know much about photoshop, but maybe you can adjust highlights in that area? I do love the waterfall!

Converting to b&w is an excellent idea!
There are enough colors present to make it work well with careful processing. Well worth removing from the cutting board.

It's an uncommon view from the area, so I'd keep it. The blown out sky doesn't bother me, as it's minimal and somehow balanced by the water treatment. I realize there's a lot of red in the land here, but the red color cast seems a bit strong. ?

The Rocks in that stream were pretty "warm", but if you're referring to the ridge in the bg, maybe I got a little slider happy.
Converting this image to BW is an interesting idea, but if I have to change its format to make it usable, I'm leaning to the side of not including it on my website. But as Jesse pointed out, it's not a common view.
