Much better than any pic I've taken of Watkins glen. The lighting is always tricky in this part of the gorge. Did you do an HDR for this image? (I'm from Rochester so I've been there before). Curious to see if you took any of Taughannock falls as well.

Great poster art, it's frame worthy

This is such a beautiful setting. I like the PP a lot - and the long exposure works very well. It may be a tad oversharpened, but it's hardly distracting against such a beautiful backdrop. A solid 8 from me. :-)

Amazing capture, the color and detail are awesome. The long exposure and post processing are very well executed, giving it a painterly quality.

Post actions
Excellent exposure control.

That is an amazing scene, I would love to see it in real life. Your composition is very good. Is this HDR? It seems a bit washed out.

What a beautiful place - nicely captured.

What a lovely place! So serene! Something about it seems fake though... perhaps the processing? The water movement is lovely.
Post actions
WOW! I want to visit here! Absolutely breathtaking You did a very good job of capturing this. It's almost mystical.
Post actions
One of the down sides of a site like DPC is the plethora of great shots with similiar themes, on first glance I thought "another long exposure flowing water shot...yawn..." but a longer examination shows off a cornucopia of fine detail and interest that sets this one apart from all the rest. Absosutely love the autumn theme as well as the fine veils of water on the left, definitely one of the best.

This is an amazing place.. beautiful!

Image feels rather light. I like the geometry in such a natural place.

Post actions
you handled the light here very well

Beautiful image. I thought it was somewhere in Asia until I read the title. :) I love all the cascades of water, and all the detail. I might have cropped out the tree trunk on the very top but that's just me neatpicking.
Post actions
Very pretty! I was there as a kid but don't actually remember it ::sigh::

Just excellent. Sorry I can't be more articulate than that ;-)

Magical looking place. WOW beautiful shot.

great capture, but i think more saturation to the colors would have helped a bit.
Post actions
I am definitely going to make the trip to visit these falls, they are stunning.

Glorious location! The water appears so surreal. Perhaps a wee bit over-saturated

There was in the forest a place of magical power, the bathing pool of faeries
Post actions
Beautiful capture - I have tried many times to get this very same shot and never nearly as successful as you have been with it.

Great picture! Do people ever jump into that pool? Or is it even deep enough?

She stood there and looked into that place, and remembered a time when the world seemed a little more magical. Less filled with worry and care. A time when wonder and beauty and imagination ruled.
