Intimate cascade

Another shot from my Rickets Glen hike. This is a small spot from Ganoga falls, at 94 feet, the largest in the park. But as dry as it is, the water wasn't looking good for the whole falls.

This shot is about 80%, cropped for some branches and other nits in the lower frame.

C&C appreciated

Techs: canon 7d, 24-105L @ 42mm, no filters, ISO 200, f14, 1.3 sec, tripod and cable release

Very nice scene, Neven. I can also see a crop off the bottom, removing the dark area in the lower left corner. To me, that directs more attention to the water on the upper left, which I really like.

Neven,

This is a much cleaner and better balanced capture than your previous one from this location. The flow of the water is now more down, than it is leading out of the frame, if that makes sense. The dappled light here is also very nice. I really have no nits or suggestions. The large version looks good and is probably only suffering from jpg compression for the web; otherwise, very nicely captured.

Pretty falls and well captured. The lighting is nice and the moss adds some color to the scene.

This is a lovely intimate view of Canoga Falls, Neven. I like your choice of SS along with the moss covered rock. My brother and I have been holding off a trip to Rickett's Glen until we get some rainfall to pick up the flow of water.
