Nik is kind of inviting me to do BW images, and tried out this milky waterfall.

I really like the contrast between the sharp, dark rocks and the smooth, soft water flow. This is really intriguing. I find myself wanting more on the top of the right hand falls.

This is just wonderful. I like the composition and get a nice feeling of the sounds and the mist that this area would give.

Really nice tones and composition, but I am bothered by the top of the falls cut off where it is.  Since I can't say where going more inclusive would take you, perhaps just a tiny crop down.

I like the image. The composition, textures and the shutter speed all work well. It also works well in B&W.

The composition with the smaller flow coming from the left, and the deep contrast are very nice to my eyes.  The soft water flow goes well with the overall darkness of the image.

I like the processing and the B & W treatment. I also would like a bit more at the top...

The tones are intriguing. A camera viewpoint a little higher would have exposed the bottom left flow better, , perhaps wider was not possible, nor a half step back to open the top, we work with what we have. In such situations where we need just a little wider two exposures and a minor stitch works.

I like tonality and the water. I agree that a little more of the top of the main cascade would be nice, but this does work well.

This works well in B&W Balan.  A little more room at the top would make this even better.  Wonderful water motion.

Now THIS looks like an alien planet! I find this to be a very powerful image, Balan. Certainly different and well crafted.

This works really well for me, Balan.  i'm glad that Nik it inviting you to do more b/w.  I would caution you to leave the structure function alone.  There are better ways to add selective clarity.  That aside, I love this one.
