Bald River Falls + Repost

Gallery: LandscapePosted August 24, 2010137 views6 comments

Spent 2 hours last Friday climbing all over this having a great time. Bald River is a very popular falls in SW Tennesse (1st time for me, though)and I was lucky to catch it at a fairly quiet time with some decent light. C&C appreciated.

Beautiful shot, I really love the little verticals off to the sides of the main water stream.

Wow, what a place! It's easy to see why it's so popular. Great picture Barry, I love the strong contrast made by the shining waterfall against the dark foreground. I would only try to brighten a bit the whites in the fg just to give it even more punch.

Nice image Barry, almost the combination of two shots in one--upper and lower.

Nice comp. I like Paolo's idea of giving a FG a bit of punch

Absolutely right on needing to punch up the foreground. Here's a repost. Thanks for the input.

Barry,

Great shot! I too like the repost better. It is interesting to note the lush greens near the falls contrasted with the warmer browns in the foreground. A beautiful scene--nice capture!
