Vail waterfalls
I saw these while traveling down I70 last weekend and stopped to potograph for a while. I'd like some honest critic on these as I'm a poor judge of my own photos.

Thanks!

Richard

I really like that 2nd one with the higher waterfall leading down to the other 2. Exposure looks good and comp is good too!

#2 looks beautiful. That's quite the zoom you have!

Out of all three, I prefer #2 the best for the composition of the three falls and the better view of the rock ledge. All three are a bit cool to my eye. Try clicking the grey eyedropper in Levels or Curves on the sheer rock wall just to the left of the furthest right waterfall and see what you think.
I'd be quite pleased to have #2 in my waterfalls portfolio. Real nice shot!

I like all three but #2 is by far my favorite.

Hey Richard, I am by no means a landscape expert, but I like 1 and 2 best, with 2 taking it a bit. I think all need a little more processing, but the comps look really nice. I think John seems to have a great idea to improve them.
