Wonderful clean nice image from this falls, Justin. I have not seen a comp quite like this before and it works for me. I still need to get up to this place someday...

I was totally unaware of this waterfall. Really nice form, well captured. Love the basaltic columns.

Perfect balance of light and dark. I kinda like it better without the bottom water spray. Actually, I see two pictures here, one of the top and another of the bottom of this composition. Just a thought.

I like the simplicity and the fg mini-rapid. The columnar basalt is outstanding!

Nice falls. I really like the inclusion of the small white water in the bottom of the frame.

Marvelous color and a very nice contrast in texture. I'm torn about the white water in the foreground. On the one hand it lends a counterpoint to the falls and on the other it does sort of disrupt the great beauty of the upper part. Well, I'm a lot of help aren't I?

I love the comp and colour in this shot. I'll have to put Abiqua Falls on my list for my next trip south. :)

Great shot Justin, especially the top half. Perfect water flow, and the basalt color is very nice.

Just a splendid waterfall image Justin!! Really awesome. I don't know if you even need that little FG thing going on--personally, I think it steals the eye for a moment. The vertical lines of the stone and the waterfall, with the tranquil pool at the bottom just make for a spectacular image by themselves.

Wow Justin! The top half of this is fantastic, as well as the MG! I'd tend to agree with another previous comment about the ripple in the FG. I'd tend to say either take it completely out, OR more FG to have more of the wave lead into the image. Nonetheless, this is still a wonderful photo!

Wow! The textures of the water and rock face are stunning. I'm also torn about the foreground. I think the underwater rocks alone would make a wonderful foreground by themselves.

Very well done. Love the echo of the falls in the water in the foreground. Everything works great here.

This has a really fresh feel to it Justin, the clarity to the water and the very natural looking colours look spot on.

Really nice image. Just love that little bit of water leading you out down the bottom, really completes the flow through the image.

I like this a lot. The ripple in the fg is an original and creative element IMO. My only minor nit is the stick on the gravel bar at left middle. So close to the falls I think it's a distraction. But overall this is a very nice image.

Justin,

Wow! This has so much dynamic motion to it and yet with a minimal number of elements to convey that motion. Really well seen and executed.
