Tidbinbilla Cascades

I like the interesting perspective, Simon, but I feel the granite wall commands too much attention in comparison with your main subject (the cascades). I think a tighter framing of either the upper right corner or the lower left corner would yield stronger compositions.

Hello Simon,
I agree with Guy. Plus, the comp as a whole feels awkward and rather too 2-dimensional, if you understand my meaning. The angles that the cascades make just doesn't flow well for me. Perhaps getting closer in on the bottom cascade would give it more depth - if that were even possible.

Nice try, but I agree with the other comments so far. I'm not sure, but at first glance it really seems tilted. After looking longer though, I think it's probably pretty straight. But it stilll feels tilted. Also, the cascades arwe just too crowded by the granite wall. A little tighter comp, and less wall I think would work better.

Simon,

Hate to jump on the bandwagon... but I will say that the comp is certainly interesting. I'm also getting thrown off with a tilt, but in looking at the bottom pool, all is straight with the world. Just weird seeing the two top cascades shooting in different directions. Almost feels like the rock wall is pressed right up against the lens and you may have had to get in some awkward position just to compose and shoot this.

I like Guy's idea of trying to isolate smaller sections of the scene. In fact, as you begin cropping from the top, the presence of the rock wall begins to diminish. Maybe even a 15% top and 5% right crop could improve this a bit.

Fascinating place, Simon. My thought might be to burn down the right-side rock to put more focus on the falls.
