Stormy waterfall

[photocat22]

Hello all! I am a newbie to this site finally getting the courage to post my work. I thank you in advance for your help and critique (good & bad).

Here's an image from yesterday that I took a day after a tremondous storm we had here in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (NE Ohio). This is Bridal Veil Falls. Minor color adjustments in PS CS3. Enjoy.

Now... let's see how I do on attaching the photo.... Thanks for your patience on my first post. Cat -

welcome and very nice composition. Your water looks very nice with the speed. You might want to move to the left and offset those boulders more, perhaps a little tighter, lower.. this will allow you to expose the background and shadows more and not completly blow out the brighter boulders.

It has a lot more waterfall and less foreground. Although I do wish you had turned the camera 90 degrees to portrait format to get more of the falls in a less of the not as interesting cliff.

I think i would like to see the top of the waterfall as well. I like how the water looks the rest is a bit blurry i think. Overall i like the first shot alot it's pretty to look at

Thank you all for your replies. I do have other full falls images and I do like how they turned out but they are very cliche, if you know the waterfall. I was taking it to a new perspective with these from below the falls and horizonal framed. Thanks for your critques! Cat
