Thank you, Jaqueline. Please see my response to Jim. After reflecting on both images and everyone's responses, I re-establishing my subject. I like the vertical orientation as well. Thanks so much for your feedback. |

Thank you for your comments, Shirley. I appreciate your insights. I hear you about the look of water. I find it difficult to strike a balance. I don't care for the really smooth look, but I do like to see it a bit softer then I have. Yes, this was hand-held and should have been on a tripod. There was limited walking space on the rock path back to the falls so I didn't bother. Perhaps when I go there again, I will try to find space for the tripod and a polarizer. Please see my comments in response to Jim and my updated image. Feel free to add to your comments. Thanks again, Shirley. |

Thanks for your observation, Jim. You're correct in that we only have so much control. I was limited by the cable fencing to keep one out of the water. When I took this shot, I had a double subject in mind. I was fascinated by the rock face and I wanted the waterfalls. Practice, practice & more practice. I need to be clear in my subject. With this particular image, I wasn't so sure about the format because what I've read is that if your subject is vertical, shoot vertical. Since, at the time, I also wanted the rock face I shot landscape as well. Since everyone's comments and a bit of reflection, I've changed up the vertical image to something that I believe incorporates everyone's comments, except that it is vertical. Oh and I've also found that the correct name is Eagle's Cliff Falls in the Havana Falls State Park. What do you think? |

Nice image, Jim! Coming from Lancaster County, PA, I am very familiar with covered bridges. I'm feeling confined when looking through your bridge. I wonder if you'd have moved a few feet forward whether the view outside the bridge would have opened up a bit. But then again, if your intent was the detail in the bridge, you accomplished that well. The bridge looks well maintained. The long road and line of telephone poles just pull me into the image. |

What a fitting image for October! I love the moodiness. I think I would crop a bit off the left side of the image almost over to the branch to move the barn from the middle. I would also clone out the grayish triangle in the upper right corner as it keeps pulling my eye there. It's lighter and a different tone then the rest of the sky. Perhaps blending the color more with the rest of the sky if you want to keep a bit of contrast. Great photo, Shirley! |

Hey, that fellow was in my yard yesterday! Lol! Very cool rotation technique. To my eye, the light on the flower is a bit too bright. Looks like it was shot at mid-day. A reflector or just your shadow over the flower would have helped soften the light and given more even lighting. Butterflies, generally, tolerate me moving all around and over them. Nice capture, Piers! |

Wow, Martin, that is very helpful! I can easily lighten up the water, but I'm not sure how I'd move the sunlight. You are absolutely correct though, had the light fallen on the falls, I would have had a better image. I do have the PhotoPills app, but I really can't figure it out. This place is about 1,200 miles away from my house so another outing will have to wait until next year. Thanks so much for your insight. Any opinion of landscape over portrait versions? |
