After a brief disappearing act ( caused by the crashing of my computer ) I have returned :D
This is a shot from Cedar Falls from my Christmas trip north to the great state of Ohio :)
How's it work composition wise?

Wow this is absolutely great. The only thing i could suggest compositionally would be to have the waterfall more to the right instead of centered. But that is just my humble opinion. Great great shot tho!!! seriously

i like it.. great colors and everything... the only thing i would say compositionally is that the falls competes with the tree for attention... anything to kinda lessen that and that would be the only thing i could see to improve...

well done!

like the water flow - I know tht this is a long exposrue - kind of felt that the foreground is too dark

Wow, excellent colors! With the reddish hues on the ground, it almost seems like a mystical place..all you need now is a unicorn and some waterfall mist :D

:confused: I dunno. I mean, first of all, like 95% of your work, I love the shot. Love it.

But in response to your question, I'm torn. I like the composition. Definitely nothing technically wrong with it that I see. But there's something bugging me too... I think it may be that the tree distracts from the falls and the falls distract from the tree. I'm left with my eyes fighting over which is supposed to be the focal point. Perhaps ~narmansk8's suggestion would clear it up for me...

I know... I'm not really being much help here... Suffice it to say, it's still a wonderful image. Incidentally, the colors really stand out beautifully and lend a lot to the shot.

:clap:
