Fragile Falls

Reprocessed this image from Fall 2011 of Douglas Falls, WVA. Polluted waters resulted in the orange rocks you see here. Any comments & critiques are appreciated.

Thanks!

Water speed is perfect for me, nice comp, the rocks are a strange color but after the explanation, I sort of like them.

The shutter speed , comp, and colors are really sweet. My only nit, and a small one at that , would be to have a bit room at the top so as to not cut off the colorful tree. Looks like you trying to crop the sky . Very nice as is.

I agree with Gary's comment about the framing, but if it was to eliminate some distraction like the sky, the crop was worth it. Otherwise, it's a VERY nice composition. This scene is so pretty, I almost wish you hadn't told us about the polluted water!

Hi Navin!

It's fascinating (but sad) that pollution brought some beauty into the world. This is a pretty scene. As Gary and Wayne commented, it would have been nice to see the entire gold tree. Well done image over all.

Hi Navin, What a pretty scene this is. The warm tones look great and I especially like the looks of the water. Nice shutter speed!

Your low POV works really well here, Navin. It makes me feel like a part of the scene. This has a nice glow to it; almost painterly.

Everything works here for me.

The story adds to the capture and tells a tale we all need to be aware of. Low angle excellent.
Well done Navin

Great interaction between all of the colors here and the two levels of falling water is very inviting. I would like more room on the bottom though that would probably only be achieved through stitching images together

Beautiful color, and a nice flow for the eye from top left to bottom right. Well done.

I sure like the colors and the comp. here Navin. Sad that it takes pollution to make these interesting colors.

That's quite an interesting colour palette - usual but appealing visually, if not taking in account the environmental issues. Well composed.
