Great photo, the only problem that i have with it is that on the bottom right hand side, it is very bright and draws attention to the eye. I would tone down the whites a bit to but more emphasis on the rocks. P.S. I think we are finnally even with comments...correct me if i am wrong.
I really like the textures in this shot, as well as the colors. Almost looks as though the color of the moss is bleeding into the pool somehow...Very nice
Wonderful job on this one. I would like to see a little more dodge/burn to add some interest to the lighting, but 7 out of 200 tells me that it's certainly great the way it is as well. This one would make a nice print.
This is an awesome shot. I love the 'feel' of the whole image. The long exposure makes it work. The colors are great. The texture is excellent. Very well done.
This is my favorite of all your pictures. I love the moss and the silvery look to the water. Great composition and great job of really creating a beautiful image.
Wow, looks like liquid mercury running down over the rocks and moss. Excellent detail and colors. I haven't been around much lately, so sorry I missed this one. Fantastic! Cheers....Martin
I wish I was in town for this challenge - great capture. I think a little more space above would have increased your placing. Now to go from a brown to top ten gives me great hope. Congrats.
Wow if there was any more height to this photo it would have taken the ribbon in my suspicion. The blurred water, the colours, the framing all stunning. Lovely lovey shot especially with not such a great camera as far as I know. Nice work.
Wow...Truly a beautiful picture you've got here. The composition and overall feel of the photograph are amazing. I've got to add this one to my favorites! :)
Very impressive finish! Congratulations!! Read all the comments and can't add much to them. You're getting better and better. A top three finish is in your future!
Although I like these kinds of shots, and this one is ok, there are a few things that make it unappealing (although they may simply be a result of the small image size), and that is the color and shape of the rocks the water is flowing over. They look politely saying like brown mud (unpolitely you can guess, but better have some TP with you). Maybe a tighter crop on just one of the falls, concentrating the focus on it, instead of the 2 competing falls making the eye pingpong back and forth would help as well. 6
A beautiful photo but looks like its been over neat imaged in reagrds to the white in the water. The colors are very vibrant and the clarity/crispness is very good. I also like the way the rocks look like the have ice on them. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <7>
So far, this is the most interesting waterfall shot I have seen in the challenge (and by the way, I have one of them, too ;)). It is colorful, detailed, and intriguing. If you want something helpful from me, I'll have to think about it....ok, I've got something: continue taking good photographs and you will do well. Alright?
In thumbnail this just looks like yet ANOTHER waterfall pic, but in full size....WOW
gorgeous. I love how incredibly smooth the water is, aswell as the interesting slimey substance on the rocks. Very nice, and good luck
'7' - Nice shot. Criticism (with the caveat I know squat about long exposures); whilst I am a fan of this type of shot, I am wondering if perhaps there was a little too much exposure as there seems to be almost a 'slime' feel to this. I know you have worked your title into that feel, and while it does look in parts like 'melting', for me, especially without the title, it has a different 'feel'. The colors are nice, but I would like to see them even bolder (the green especially). Also, I favor that left hand side of the photograph and if that (dependent of course what is further left) were more in frame, it would make this a better photograph in my opinion, especially if you were able to capture more of the texture (and you already have) of the moss etc. That 'hanging' at the left rear and the seemingly 'still' water there looks intriguing.
I really like these type of shots, love the silky texture to the water, but in this one I think the water is a bit too blurry Also there are a few hot spots.
