Great scene. I love the layers of water in the main river and the two falls landing on the two rocks is perfect. I see a nice vertical comp in there too!!

Very nice John, the low viewpoint and water puts one in the scene... well done!

Love the viewpoint and comp... but maybe just a bit too much white H2o for my tasts. But when the waters running you may not had a coice!

Love this shot..lush greens, rocks with character, and of course some great waterfall action.I would do the crop differently..either get rid of most of the foreground with the crop right above the foreground rock on the lower left(my preference as I feel it unifies the image) or crop up from the bottom of the image so that forementioned rock anchors the bottom left of the image with just a smidge of water below it. :toast:

Sensational. The layers really work well to draw the viewer in. Nice work Jackson.

Love seeing all that water coming down, both in the falls and in the river. Really speaks to the Spring runoff time of year. I'd be looking for a smidge more detail in the upper left corner darkness, but maybe it's there in your larger file? Must have been a great hike!

I really like the perspective here and those waterfalls on the left are very nice.
