Wonderful colors and lines. I've grown tired of water shots...DPC is flush with them, after all, but this one is beyond the others in my eyes. Good luck this week.
Post actions
Wow - Stunning shot - colors are perfect - Excellent!
Post actions
feels more like a painting than a photo, but it looks great. without those extra touches it would have been another boring waterfall. nice.

this is beautiful, and i love the colors. however, the area just to the left of the falling water just doesn't look right--as if it were over-sharpened. that might not be what caused it to look the way it does, but that's beside the point.
Post actions
Great shot. I love the swirl and the effects of the long shutter speed. 9

I've been looking for location to get a shot like this. Very nice long exposure with the leaves circling in the stream. Wonderful image.
Post actions
Fantastic colors and use of longer exposure.. my nitpick is that the upper right corner seems a bit too dark for me.
Post actions
A fairytale scene. Perfect on so many levels. Sure to do well.
Post actions
So calm and relaxing. I could stare at this all day.

Excellent motion and swirl

Beautiful! I love the PP, the top is perhaps a bit too dark. Great colors btw.
Post actions
Great capture! I really like this effect.
Post actions
wow, this is really nice, good stuff

At first glance, I nearly skipped straight on past but actually, this shot has a strange permanence that made me stop. The light has a wonderful quality and the long exposure has managed to stress both the stillness and the movement at the same time! Colours are lovely. Lovely.
Post actions
I am rarely sold on this long-exposure waterfall shots, but the rusty colors and the shadows make this an pleasant if slightly eerie shot. The upper right corner is a little too dark, it comes across as vignetting.
Post actions
beautiful scene, but background looks oversharpened and is too dark IMO. -7
Post actions
This is a great image - love the colors and crispness of the background set off against the water in motion
Post actions
Great colors and composition. It is almost magical.
Post actions
ohhh - dark & moody - I like it!!
Post actions
Post actions
Ooooh. What a great effect - to have the darkness of the woods offset by the brightness of the moving water.
Post actions
The sharpening, dodging and burning have turned this photo into painterly art - but it moves better than oil. The swirl is marlvelous in the bottom third of the composition - balanced nicely by the white rush of the falls and the shadowy leaves above. Maybe a bit too dark on the top right. 8
Post actions
wow, one of top 5 photo in my opinion for this challenge
Post actions
I love these type of shots... gotta try this one fall... great work
Post actions
Gotta love that swirl! Great color tones too - very attractive & surreal. Very well done. Back to bump you up to 9.
Post actions
Lovely subject! Good composition. Top portion is a bit too dark, I can hardly see any deatil.
Post actions
Post actions
Nice exposure and colors.

Marvelous colors, lighting, and composition. Would be a 10 from me, but what ruins it is the unnatural texture on everything else than the waterfall. It looks like a photograph of a waterfall inserted into a weird pointillist landscape painting. 7
Post actions
This is a beautiful image, the colors, light, and composition. However, it seems over-sharpened to me.
Post actions
oversharpened in the foliage, but the water is stunning.
Post actions
Very cool. Is it tilted? Water looks great, rest of the photo seems a bit contrasty.
Post actions
Now we're talkin'! Beautiful lighting, a perfectly timed exposure, just enough to catch the "cotton-candy" water, but not too muct to blow it out. Great colors as well. BRAVO!
Post actions
Beautiful rich tones on this! It has an immediate wow impact!
Post actions
Beautiful colours. The top right corner is annoying me for being so dark - my eyes keep getting drawn up there as if they're trying to draw out more detail. Otherwise this is excellent.
Post actions
What an interesting effect. Love the rich dark colors contrasted with the white water.
Post actions
Lovely colours and good exposure however I can't help feeling that it would be much better if not listing so much to port.
Post actions
Post actions
Well done, bute a little bit of soft focus in the background would have been better. But thats just me. Nevertheless a great shot, thanks for sharing and good luck in the challenge!
Post actions
I find the lighting of this on to be a bit odd, the upper right being dark and the upper loft being more lit bothers me a bit, the swirl and the colors in the water are really nice. Also you did a good job exposing the falls as well.
Post actions
did you do some dodging on the top right of the photo? The darkish effect disturbs me somehow... Great picture though! :)
