Wonderful colors and lines. I've grown tired of water shots...DPC is flush with them, after all, but this one is beyond the others in my eyes. Good luck this week. |

feels more like a painting than a photo, but it looks great. without those extra touches it would have been another boring waterfall. nice. |

this is beautiful, and i love the colors. however, the area just to the left of the falling water just doesn't look right--as if it were over-sharpened. that might not be what caused it to look the way it does, but that's beside the point. |

I've been looking for location to get a shot like this. Very nice long exposure with the leaves circling in the stream. Wonderful image. |

Fantastic colors and use of longer exposure.. my nitpick is that the upper right corner seems a bit too dark for me. |

At first glance, I nearly skipped straight on past but actually, this shot has a strange permanence that made me stop. The light has a wonderful quality and the long exposure has managed to stress both the stillness and the movement at the same time! Colours are lovely. Lovely. |

I am rarely sold on this long-exposure waterfall shots, but the rusty colors and the shadows make this an pleasant if slightly eerie shot. The upper right corner is a little too dark, it comes across as vignetting. |

Ooooh. What a great effect - to have the darkness of the woods offset by the brightness of the moving water. |

The sharpening, dodging and burning have turned this photo into painterly art - but it moves better than oil. The swirl is marlvelous in the bottom third of the composition - balanced nicely by the white rush of the falls and the shadowy leaves above. Maybe a bit too dark on the top right. 8 |

Marvelous colors, lighting, and composition. Would be a 10 from me, but what ruins it is the unnatural texture on everything else than the waterfall. It looks like a photograph of a waterfall inserted into a weird pointillist landscape painting. 7 |

oversharpened in the foliage, but the water is stunning. |

Now we're talkin'! Beautiful lighting, a perfectly timed exposure, just enough to catch the "cotton-candy" water, but not too muct to blow it out. Great colors as well. BRAVO! |

Beautiful colours. The top right corner is annoying me for being so dark - my eyes keep getting drawn up there as if they're trying to draw out more detail. Otherwise this is excellent. |

I find the lighting of this on to be a bit odd, the upper right being dark and the upper loft being more lit bothers me a bit, the swirl and the colors in the water are really nice. Also you did a good job exposing the falls as well.

did you do some dodging on the top right of the photo? The darkish effect disturbs me somehow... Great picture though! :) |
