Self Critique
I like the way I was able to capture this particular water fall along the course of the cascades of the Mistaya Canyon River. I am satisfied with the capture and edit.
Creative direction
Here I slowed the water fall using a neutral density filter to create the smooth, silky appearance of of the fall and still have just enough detailed lines in the falling water to provide some definition. I also like the contrast of the âsoftened waterâ to the detail of the surrounding rock that gives the falls their shape.
Specific Feedback
Any and all feedback is welcomed.

Description
This image was captured during a workshop to Banff and Jasper National Parks in the Mistaya Canyon.
Hi Robert, this is a well-seen and well processed image. I love the flow, the shutter speed was great to retain texture and detail while still capturing the energy of the flow. I like how the water comes in from upper right and as it drops it is âsqueezedâ between the rock formations. Lighting and processing are all very good!
Hi Bob! I love everything about this image, except, the crop is too close to the bottom edge of the frame. A small zoom out and a small turning down of the camera would fix that, giving you balance at all 4 edges. I always enjoy seeing glacial color in water, and you have a small coloration in the falls. The natural light is perfect for this type of scene as Iâm sure you know. The exposure of 1/5 sec appears to be good enough to slow the water but not too much leaving some detail in the flow. I hope that you worked this scene making various exposures. Good job!
