No camera data, since this was taken years ago, before digital. One of my very few attempts at B & W

If your attempts resulted in images like this, why on earth would you stop? The textures of the rhodedendron leaves, rocks and water fit very well together, and you've captured a gorgeous tonal range Bob.

BW works for me. Lovely processing.
Composition is quite striking as well.

Great tones on the left bush, and a very nice exposure overall. I also particularly like the rock at the bottom of the falls. It really strengthens the image imho. Nicely seen

Not usually a fan of B&W, but I have to admit that this image looks really good. Great job!

Such rich tones! That is what a B&W is supposed to be imo. Begs for ILford pearl paper. :biggrin:

Kind of dark, but beautiful image nonetheless. Detail and range of lighter tones is impressive.

Very nice, Bob. I like the strong contrast and silky water, which also has a wonderful glow to it. Excellent b/w toning.

Very nice overall composition. The water is great and the B&W conversion suits the overall shot very nicely indeed.
