This one was challenged -- I guess someone thought I was somehow cheating. I was looking for a subject that could be dramatic if I negated the luminance while leaving the colors alone. The waterfall was the perfect choice since the white water turned black yet the foliage, dirt, and sky remained the same.

Thanks go to individuals who didn't lower my score because it didn't look like a traditional negative -- indeed, it isn't one!

I like the colors around the falls and the mood it creates, in this one though I would have liked it more if it was shot with a wider angle.

Interesting choice of subject. The surrounding rocks and foliage are quite nice.

Very interesting effect from the water. Interesting how the tree foilage still looks green in colour. Good luck.

Interesting shot, might try different shutter speeds to clean up the waterfall or even a IR filter. Very cool, love the shot.

This is interesting to see. It's a good, solid shot. I'm not sure waterfalls work as well as negatives...(doesn't affect your score, just sayin') I like the color tones you kept, subtle but effective - 8
