While one may not call this a stunning waterfall scene, it has for me a lot of interesting qualities. For one it is reality , rocks, dead leaves, moving water; what you would if your were finding if your were wandering along the banks. I like the separation between the foreground and background ware, B&W was a good choice. Cheers.

Thanks, Gary.

I love the tone of the rocks in the FG. The movement in the water is really good and I think this is a really great capture for an image. Perfect in B&W Don. Really Nice !!!

I love this, Don! There’s a really nice luminosity to the highlights in the foreground, great texture in the flowing water and I like that the compositioin is split almost evenly at a diagonal between the rocks/leaves and waterfall. It’s a simple scene but evidence that a successful photo doesn’t always have to scream loudly.

Gill, Bret, thanks for the feedback. The entire scene wasn’t very photogenic but I liked this little piece of it.
