Good day Tom,
I like this image. The v created by the moss covered rock is nice way to lead one into the image, and the water looks great as presented to the viewer. This is a nice intimate view of this area with some added breathing room up top that displays the beauty of this falls nicely.
Nicely done

This is a good look at this falls, with touches of texture in the falls and a good bit of spray conveying a sense of power. On my monitor, there seems to be a touch of magenta in the falls.

I like the composition very much, but I'm on the fence with the lack of sharpness in the foreground boulder. Also, there appears to be a slight magenta cast in the water that's evident in IE 11, but much less so in Firefox. The tones, in general look very nice--and with good balance.

Tom, I like the flow this image has. The falls looks great and I especially like the looks of the water just before it drops over the falls. I also like the forest background and mist in the upper part. Looks like a pretty interesting area for photography.

Thanks for the comments. I probably could have helped out the foreground rock focus as this is a vertical pan of two images and the focus of the lower image could have been pulled in. An especially useful technique for medium format where depth of field is reduced. Yes there may be some magenta in the falls. In actuality it is probably more yellow brown due to tannins in the water from the pond a bit above.
Just a fun place to explore on a rainy day, a natural area preserved in a city park in Bellingham Washington. Sometimes the re is just the need to get out and about with the camera.
Cheers. Tom

Really like the details and tones in the falls and the natural colors throughout. DOF with medium format can certainly be a challenge but to me, the details and interest of the rest of the image hold this together nicely.

wonderful effect! A little OOF zone in left-low zone, but it's a very little detail in these excellent image.
Clap hands from me.

Nice little falls. I am seeing the bit of magenta as well, but slight. Maybe throw the foreground further OOF in Photoshop?

Thanks for the comment Harley. Your suggestion is a good one, though what I should have done was taken one more photo focusing on the foreground to get everything in focus in the final image.
Thanks. Tom
