85 Jun 25 Comment The image feels quite "heavy" on the left and unbalanced. Since you pasted in the sky I would have put the part with the clouds and milky way more in the center or in the center-right to balance out the bright structure in the lower left foreground

Also on night images like this it is usually a good idea to put a 2 pixel light gray stroke around the perimeter so the image doesn't fade into the dark background

85 Jun 25 Comment Nicely composed and processed. Looks like a fun spot.

My only thought is if you were more to the left and further back all three of the domes would have been in the image and what appears to be the dominant part of the Milwaukee skyline in the background

85 Jun 25 Comment I was at Burney Falls maybe 10 years ago and I don't think this is Burney Falls. It's wider than this and known for the water coming through the porous volcanic rocks -- especially on the left side -- instead of over the top. But this is still a pretty waterfall!

Echoing Drema's remarks shooting partially shaded waterfalls on sunny days is pushing a boulder uphill. Blown highlights are almost guaranteed :-(

Compositionally you might have cropped in from the left and the top instead of centering the waterfall.

Has anyone in the group tried using their ND filters for scenes with moving water? My understanding is these filters are more for video as its hard to see how the drone could be stable enough for a long exposure.

85 Jun 25 Comment Yews, good idea to leave or a lightning bolt from heaven might have downed your drone.

Very pretty, nice sky, and nice side light on the basilica.

I don't think the building in the foreground is very helpful and thought a horizontal image might have worked better, see attached file

85 Jun 25 Comment You made it to Drone Mecca!. Nice going.

Suggestion for the future: Your drone should have the ability to shoot bracketed exposures (I always use this unless there is a reason not to -- chip space is free and even if I just use one shot in the bracket at least I have them). The sky looks to have some blown highlights which maybe could have been corrected in post with LR HDR.

Nice light on the top of the mesa and i like how you composed this image.
