Strong comp, lots of energy, interesting shapes and rich textures. I like it very much as posted Preston, although I think the last is still my favorite of these.

I was thinking about an additional crop from the top midway to the top of the white rock above the water but not sure that it buys that much. Just puts more emphasis on the moving water.

No other thoughts.

I like the framing of the cascades with the rocks. The rocks have a lot of interesting color and texture - especially the counterpoint between the grey rocks and the golden colored rock in the lower left hand corner.

The coloring in the granite boulders is very appealing and natural, beautiful detail and composition, I definitely have to get out on the streams. Beautifully seen and presented Preston.

I like this tighter composition. The rock colors are appealing, and the shutter speed is perfect, for me at least.

I can feel this capture with the anchor points working well. The intersecting flow from bottom right is superb. :wavey:

I really like the sense of peeking in on this small cascade, Preston, plus all of the interesting colors and textures in the rocks. Well done.

To me it's all about the rocks in this one, Preston. They're excellent in arrangement and geological compositions of textures and colors. The small cascade is very nice too, especially the small center burst area.

The only very minor change for me would be a slight burn down of the white patch just to the upper right of the center black rock. :cool:

Nice solid image. I also like the rocks. Great color and detail. You are getting your money's worth out of that digie-snappin' machine.

Perfect shutter speed Preston. Looks very natural to my eye. Tack sharp as well. Nicely done!
