I know this is a dark scene, but the falls did have a glow to them. Mayge browning some of the rocks might look good....suggestions :razz:

Gorgeous comp and light! Too bad about the SLR, so it's really great you managed to get that G2.
I think this is one of those images where you will want to hang on to the original file for a long time, and re-process it as you learn more about your image-processing program. I think the strong contrast has eaten up some of the details, and the cyan in the waterfall appears to be oversaturated, even for one that had a nice glow. Certainly an image worth revistiing from time to time!

Sorry to hear about your camera Lucy. A dramatic presentation for sure. I'd be nice if you could pull some more detail out of the shadows and like previously mentioned, reduce the cyan levels in the water. I like the straight forward comp and mood to this scene.
