Woo Hoo to you on your ribbon - I must say, this pic made an impact on me this week - I saw a waterfall and was telling a friend about your photo...I'm glad you placed! :)
Beautiful photo. I like almost everything about it....... The girl is a nice addition, she helps to show the sheer size of the falls. Her body language is all wrong. I want to see her doing something interesting. (perhaps dangling her feet in the water). she is in an exotic place but she is not dressed exotically, she looks more like a tourist- this is giving the feel of a snapshot. - 7
Beautiful colors and very nice. The only comment I would make is about the person. Though there may be some significance to have her there, it almost looks out of place. If she is to be there, maybe compose it so that she is a "larger" player in the picture. Otherwise, an awesome shot.
Wonderful photo! Very nice lighting and colors. The only thing is that I would have tried to let the girl look up, maybe a little more to the direction of the watrerfall. Now she seems to be a bit concentrated too much on herself. The title suggests that she's falling asleep but then I would have chosen a more relaxed pose. Like resting on her ellbows.
Very tough photo. Nice shadow detail leads to a washed out waterfall. I think I woulda prefered more detail in the fall. The cropping, however, is great, and really helps suggest the enormity of the falls.
what an amazing scene... i think your exposure here is just about perfect. any less and you would have too much darkness in the cliff rocks. any more and you would have blown the water out completely. I don't know what is visible to the left of this image, but i would like the overall composition more if the fall was not dead centered. I also really like the placement of the girl in this photo. It gives a very nice sense of perspective to the size of these falls... = 10 - jmsetzler
cropping from the left would lessen the fuzziness on the right and make the girl image more effective; very green stuff on the bottom right looks manipulated
The scenery is great, but I don't really see what the girl adds to this shot the way it is. There seems to be some color on the left side of the frame - perhaps you could have used that to your advantage.
At first I didn't like the person in the foreground...but as I kept going back to this, I think it serves to emphasize the magnitude of this beautiful, powerful waterfall. I like the dreamy effect of the flowing water and the mist surrounding it. 9 KDJohnson
i love the soft waterfall, the girl in the corner of the shot is also a nice addition, although her shadow shows that the photo was taken in broad daylight and detracts a little from the softness of the rest. the bright green foilage in the foreground is also a little distracting but i understand that you may not have been able to position yourself so as to exclude that. -- gr8photos (6)
On my monitor, I have to scroll when the photo shows up.. and I liked it .. like at 9 status.. until I saw the girl. It offers a good idea on how big the falls are.. but I think that it would have been a more dramatic photo without the girl. But then again this is a wonderful picture too. 8 :)
Approprate use of long shuttter to show notion of the watter falling, but maybe a bit too much effect. I would prefere to see some of the shape of the water. All things in photography are a compromise of playing one extreme aginst the other to get the desired effect. This is one of my top picks this week.
