Critique Club critique:
Composition/Content:
The content is wonderful. It's always nice to see soft white water flowing over rocks. Very nice composition with a foreground, middle ground and background. You would have scored higher if the challenge was nature or landscapes. What I mean by that is the bridge should be the subject of your image.
Camera Work/Technical:
Very nice camera angle and depth of field. Good exposure to soften the white water at the same time keeping a good tonal range.
Post Processing:
I tried saturating the colors and it made the green in the water and the green in the rocks more prominant and tied the photo together with the greenery on the sides of the river. Cropping some of the sides out of the image also seems to help as if the camera zoomed in on the upper center of the image.
My Opinion: I think you created a beautiful photograph that could be a great photograph with saturating the color some and maybe cropping out some of the sides. If you want to score higher in the challenge, simplify your image and make sure the subject of your image is the main interest in the image. Great job.

Incredible dof. Nice effect with the water. Bridge seems to be hanging there - good. But the bridge seems like an after thought. The good features could have been preserved and the bridge enhanced with alonger lens or tighter crop.

Yes, I would call this place heaven! Nice perspective. I wish heaven were more in focus. Everything seems just slightly out of focus here.

You show a nice amount of water coming down the rocks, but would have appreciated some cropping at the higher rocks and seeing some more of the bridge with water on the upper rock. The bridge is too far away to be appreciated much.

Idyllic! A very soft focus here and a lovely composition. The main subject "bridge" doesn't seem to be prominent enough however.
