Congrats on the new personal best! It's a nice shot, with good composition. And the water's terrific.

Yeah, there is some odd haloing going on with the trees on the left, but you captured such nice tones overall. Congrats on your personal best!

David, congrats on a really great finish. This is a beautiful scene and I think you did a great job doing it justice. I had you at a 9 and personally think the shot should have ended up much higher. BEAUTIFUL.

Nice score! We got lucky with a waterfall-friendly crowd :) It's tough to do a long exposure during the day without blowing the sky. I had to crop mine out even though it was taken at dusk. Congrats on a new personal best!

Would have marked this higher if the trees on the left did not look like they were jumping out of the picture

A bit too much edge on the trees & sky...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the photo. The editing between the trees and sky looks a little off.

nice, trees look alittle strange though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/19/2007 09:34:17 AM
Your trees look very strange. Is that a sharpening glow? The right half of the photo is beautiful though.

What a great spot... smooth.

hmmmmmm this is a nice perspective but has been totally trashed during post procession IMHO which is a real shame as it has potential to be a great shot.
It almost looks like the sky and trees have been pasted into this drawing afterwards and were not taking in the original shot as they both look quite fake, the trees more than anything as they have a white halo around them.
On the positive side i love the position this was taken from with the grass included in the shot.

Wonderful shot, what a stunning location.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The water is gorgeous here. There's a little haloing around the trees from oversharpening that is distracting, though. 7.

okay but, would have been better in more favorable light

an Oasis! Pretty. For some reason the sky and treeline bothers me slightly...nice image, though.

nice work........I know this is often difficult to pull off with the bright sun

Sweet!

Very cool. Curious what the lighter halos are around the trees. Oversaturated?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/16/2007 03:14:23 PM
I like the water, but the sky looks fake somehow specially around the trees on the left
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/16/2007 06:05:09 AM
not sure about the halo around the trees, but otherwise, this looks great
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/16/2007 04:56:32 AM
Pretty scene. Some editing issues around the palm trees?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/16/2007 04:44:46 AM
The water fall is wonderful. The colors are great. There is something about the sky that seems off. Was it fixed afterwards? If you look around the trees on the left you can see a difference in the color. Otherwise it would be a perfect shot.
