Pretty shot, Daniel--no nits from me!

Daniel,

No nits from me either. What I think really works is how the waterfall (duh) ties everything together. It ties the sky up in the notch in to the scene perfectly (and great job getting that without it being blown.) There's a lot of open space in the middle, again the waterfall tying the parts together and plus the middle section has all those great looking greens.

From what looks like a very difficult place to compose this scene, you've pulled this one off. Nice work!

Wonderfully composed and executed Daniel. Lovely to look though.

Like the others, I like the scene and your comp. My only thought is that the light feels unnaturally cool. Could see trying a warming filter in PS to see what it does.

Excellent composition Daniel. The sky, waterfall and foreground water all work together very well. How long ago was this one made...the water looks very low.

Scott. This was just last week - it has been (until now) a very dry December as you know. Elowah is pretty difficult to get ths close to when there's much flow and/or wind.
