Catlins Cascades

Catlins, New Zealand

I managed to catch the rainforests under heavy rains during my visit. I was trying to find a different perspective to these very often photographed waterfalls which are usually shot front on.

Canon 5DMkII, 16-35mm 2.8L, ISO 100, f16, 4 seconds, polariser.

Very cool shot man. I can see why it is a highly photographed falls, and you've captured it well.

This is a nice perspective Kah Kit. Love the greens and the cascading water.
Composition looks neat too except that my eyes wish to see something more on the left edge of the frame (some foliage or so). Also the yellow/green bright foliage/bushes in centre-top keeps pulling my eyes to it.
Just my thoughts...

I really like the diagonal lines in your comp. Great light and color as well. Impressive falls and your shot makes them look even more so.

Nice! I like the way the comp fills up the entire frame with interesting focal points, and especially that the 'white water' is not over-exposed.
