this was one of my top picks in the challenge .. not only because its a stunning image .. but also because it takes me somewhere i may never go in this life ..
your editing is absolute perfection btw ..
and when i look at this i can almost feel the soft spray of the water reaching me from the waterfall .. and i can almost hear its thunder .. there’s a sombre feeling to this that reminds me of the power of water at its most ferocious ..
talk about bringing me .. sight, sound and feeling .. into your image .. just brilliant .. :)
Lovely processing of a scene you can hear; water is the most powerful force on earth and it's elegantly captured here in full. I do like the gloomy sort of tone, too. And I think I've been here? I have a memory of these falls...
Good art stirs something in the viewer, and when I first loaded this image, I had to admit that I felt something. Something I struggled to articulate, but something very real and pleasantly evasive. A catch in the throat. A second-take wondering at whether what I was seeing was real or imagined. A pause to study the individual pixels to identify the seams separating the fantasy from reality. The gray boundary between ultra-real and surreal is deliciously explored in this scene, which for me is stimulating at a multisensory level. I "hear" the distant roar of the water. I "smell" the woodsy-fresh aroma of the environment. And—most of all—I feel connected to the reality of the moment even as I feel transported by its painterly presentation.
Like a cover on a book, a Stephen King book most likely. Cold and misty, mysterious and creepy. Good decision to keep the foreground vegetation, to frame in the waterfall.
Congratulations top 10, this is like a painting it is so beautiful.
One of my favorite places Salish Lodge, I have been there many times but never got a shot like this. Amazing Photography! 9
