Taken back in June when hiking at Crabtree Falls north of Lynchburg in Virginia.
This was the last photo I considered for this...hopefully it will do well.
Processing involved a filter from Optic Verve that gave it a hazy look, then coverting to a Quadtone. That's it...no crop, no levels, no curves (technically, I did curves with the quadtone).
Thanks...

I think the straight shot may have been better than this overprocessed version. It looks to overprocessed as a "normal" photo, but still to "real" to be an artistic rendering.
Sorry but I have to say I don´t really care for the PP on this one, just too "ethereal" for my taste and you blow out the waterfall in several places. Just thought I´d explain why I only gave it a 4.
the post-processing killed this for me. i feel like i'm looking at a bad negative. but hey, that's just my opinion. as long as you enjoy it, that's what matters.
Waterfalls are so fun to shoot. It's hard to get that slow motion feel to the water without blowing out the highlights. Loks like you had trouble with that here. Might have tried buring the highlights so they would blend better. The composition is nice, and I like the pale greens
