Thanks

Great assortment of colors and textures.

YEah, nice colours and textures. I'm not sure about the DOF though, I think it woulda been nicer had the whole seen been in focus. or maybe not now that i look at it again. hmm sorry lol. I don't know what to think of the DOF. it's confusing me. It adds depth to it for sure. Maybe if I saw another that was in focus through out , I coulda decided which one i like more. but a good shot still.

I don't see anything here that is obviously the subject of the image.

I'm thinking cropping about 1/3 or so off the bottom of the frame to tighten things up and make the focal point of the image the steeply sloping rock where the water is starting to fall.

Nice image. You might want to adjust the horizon, I beleive its slighlty tilted down to the left.

I have stared at this for sometime and I have an issue with the top bank in the photo. I find this distracting and I think it should be cropped out to bring the little waterfall into the fore. I would crop down to the green rock reflection leaving just a fraction of water.

I love the colours and textures of the rocks and leaves.

Hmm.

This is a tough area to photograph. There's a lot happening and how to isolate it is an issue. But the biggest problem is the lighting: really tough to get everything evened out to look smooth and harmonious. I think a certain time of the day, on a day when the light is best, would or could work. This one's light and color isn't too bad but I am not sure it really makes it as a standout. Decent try though..

Thanks for all the great feedback........

I kept coming back to this image...there was so much tactile feeling to it...but i couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Appreciate it.

Len, i like the water running off the rock and the assortment of leaves laying upon it. I think the rest of the image above this rock is not adding to the scene and takes away focus from the subject.
I would suggest cropping off 1/4 off the top of the image into an almost square format and then reduce your brightness and increase contrast a bit. Love the textures and colors and the sharpness is good to bring those things out.

I am thinking the same thing Roger and Gary are. Take out some of the top just above the flat rock.
