Great shot! This is the POV and composition that demands TS lens...and your use in a pano shows deft hand to align all the parts....Excellent. The beams of light might pose a difficult blend ...but, not having that lens...I am just guessing. Lovely mood... an enchanting forest with diamonds and sunshine!

This is one of the best photo's I seen of Proxy.
Very well done and tough technically to get the sun and sky looking good in waterfall shots.
Congrats......

Lovely look at this falls. I sure like how you've got those crepuscular rays highlighting sections of the falls and the interesting triangle of the two sections of falls plus those sun rays.

Nicely done! The light is wonderful. I'm on the fence with the leaning trees, but there's not much one can do in such a situation without a view camera and back tilt/swing. The detail is excellent, and you did great job putting this one together.

Preston - interestingly enough, the shift feature of the TS lens is supposed to correct for that issue but didn't totally. (my 16-35mm at 16mm, oriented vertically had even more keystoning)

Very nicely handled image. Really like how you've composed this and then blended it all together.
