Robert,

Nice job on this waterfall! The exposure look to be just about perfect. This has been a good year for waterfalls as all the rain has kept them at late April / May levels until this week. I was out to Campbell Falls this morning and I'll post that when I get the time to process it. New replacement windows are going in tomorrow & Sunday. . .

Nice waterfall! I might try cropping from the bottom, or top (I can't decide which I like better), so that the waterfall is not dead center. Also, the top RHC of the image is black. It looks as if you erased it in PS. You may have had a layer turned off when you flattened the image? Exposure is great! I'm going to have to get over to NY and do some photography. I've done a lot of cycling over there, and keep telling myself I have to get over there with my camera!

I hear you about falls being centered, but I liked the bottom and top items, might go back and do more a landscape framing added more to the left side. The black area in corner is a rock out crop, very large over hang which I was actually under.

Thanks for your comments.

Robert....

I like the compostion as well on this one. The falls are just bright enough to draw your attention from the top of the image, yet the upper part adds a nice touch on the second look.
