That looks just like Alberta Falls in the Rockies ??? I have many pictures of Alberta falls that look so much like this, and I've seen so many others' pictures of them, but they all look a little different. Amazing how different people can take a picture of a similar subject and they will all express their take on it differently.

Great job! I love it.

I like this one the least. Don't get me wrong, it's spectacular, but compared to the others it doesn't have the same punch. The sky seems a little too bright IMHO.

I like this one the best. You can get a sense of scale with the large pine trees in the background. The low cloud (or fog) ceiling adds some drama. Another thing I like is the composition, the way the waterfall cuts across the image diagonally and the trees in the foreground right add more depth and dimension. Overall - very nice!

I never worry about so-called "printable ratios"; I make the image be the best it can be and worry about all that later. Youc an always create a print file that inludes white borders to regularize it for a generic print service like DOC.

This image, anyway, seems to me the most blah of the 4. It really doesn't compel my attention.

Unfortunately that is the left of the original image, but I can crop from the right. So you think aligning the start of the falls a little closer to the edge would be more appealing. I will try that.

So for the second question, when cropping do you use the preset sizes such as 8x10, 4x6 so its still in a printable ratio? Which means some of the top would be cropped or bottom. I have a tough time with cropping and still keeping a printable ratio.

If you can I would go back and crop a little more off the right of the photo and not so much off the left. I think as of now it is too close to center.
