This shot is partner to my last image on Earth Sea and Sky. The same limitations apply to f/stop setting but I thought it was worth a post. I can't wait to get a set of ND filters to see what can be accomplished at this location. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

As always your thoughts and comments are welcome and appreciated.

Nikon D5000
f/32 @ .77 secs

Mark, this water is really nice, you did a great job with that!! To this novice eye, the surroundings though seem to have been a bit sacrificed and come thru a little soft to me. :toast:

Did a great job on the waterfall. Might also like to see a closer crop of the falls, possibly in the protrait mode.

Nice scene, Mark. Wondering if f32 may have caused the softness. You don't state the focal length, but looks like short telephoto. Maybe opening up to mid range aperture would help with the detail, and if possible shortening up on the focal length to include the tree tops would be of benefit, which might also allow more DOF.
