Guy;

I like the tension created by the cropped waterfall on the left. Adds a bit of mystery to the image.
Two thumbs up!

Cheers, Franz Gisin

Guy: I like the comp and the SS you chose. I do like the small cataract on the left side although I think I might like a touch more of it. For some reason the mist above that fall pulls my eye more than the fall itself :face_with_raised_eyebrow:. My only other suggestion would be to open the blocked shadows, especially that fairly large area immediately above the main falls. Still a very nice conversion and a fine capture. >=))>

Agree on the blocked shadows – the terrific texture of the water is enhanced by the equally great texture of the rock.

Guy, I like the small falls coming in on the left. It works well with the angled view along the main stream. I too would like to see more detail in the darker rocks.
