Very moody image and comp, Kah Kit. The GND really makes the sky rather otherworldly. Excellent exposure control and shutterspeed for the cascades, and all the rest. Nice work!

Excellent work, Kah Kit. I like this as is, but I wonder if there was a matching vertical shot? Just curious to what led you to the vertical.

So much to like about this shot. I also like the BW version you posted elsewhere.

This particular spot is not conducive to horizontals Philip, too much cluttering rocks on the sides. I have a horizontal from the same shoot but different location which works better.

Excellent depth. Maybe a little too much blue/cyan in the water?

Very moody Kah Kit. Love the drama you have captured here. From the thumbnail I figured it was Scotland.

I guess colour casts in water is something which I have a particular approach with. Rarely will I totally colour correct water and let it go white as during the best light, it should be reflecting the colours of the sky somewhat. In this case I deliberately left it cyan to contrast with the warmer earthy colours around it. Also these 'fairy pools' are famed for their striking aquamarine look.

Love the mood! Perfect capture of both the sky and water with a dramatic scenery between them. I really like your comments on water color; well said.

Really sweet scene, Kah!

I would crop the lower rock away as it kind of stops the fun motion of the outflowing water, and maybe add a tiny amount of localized contrast to some spots.

I love the drama and dynamics of this image Kah!! The capture grabs and brings you in on a beautiful journey. I enjoy your views on the water as well.

Nice moody scene, KK--i like it a lot! The water looks a tiny bit too bright to me, but im on an uncalibrated laptop right now.
