Cool, I love how the green on the left is balanced by the red on the rhs! Last time I was at the water gap I think was in the boy scouts...

I'll have to second Stan's comment on the way the greens and reds balance one another, Ronald. I also like your SS choice along with the horizontal format. Your last few postings on the Delaware Water Gap area have got me thinking I should revisit the area as it has been years since I last visited.

I like the way that the two sides of the falls converge in this image. It's also interesting how the falls more or less divide the color between green and orange. This does feel a tad oversharpened or over contrasty, but that's a minor nit.

I love the way the rocks and water swoop and soar! Really well done.

I sure do like how the stream winds down the rock, Ronald. Your shutter speed shows that off very nicely. The orange leaves and green moss add lots of warmth and interest.

Nice leading lines with the water flow, and nice capture at 1/8 of a second to show off the water. Stan had my thoughts as well with the green and red balance. Nice capture Ronald!

Ronald, this has a very nice flow

to it. I really admire how you've presented shots from all around the country and have progressively been improving as you go. Nice.

Ronald, Nice work on this! I like this comp very much and the water looks great. The combination of green moss and fall leaves looks very nice.

Very nice balance to this Ronald and relly nice SS for the water. Large version has excellent detail also. A very dynamic scene that's well done.
