Hey its no fair. You have better waterfalls than I do. I love this scene with its deep color and the water falls in such a unique way by dripping off the moss. Good work Mark. See my tractor post next to yours. Cheers Paul

Excellent composition with beautiful colours and lighting. The low angle is fantastic, making this picture very impressive. Good use of slow shutter speed. Splendid shot!

Very nice waterfall. I love the way you put the waterfall so that it fills the whole composition. A nice welcome change to the usual waterfall shots :). Actually, I didn't know they had waterfalls this big in England.
Good job!

You haven't told us your shutter speed and aperture Mark so it is a bit difficult to say what to do instead and as you know I am also experimenting with waterfalls too. I notice you used your polariser. All the ones I used the polariser for were far too dark and this looks a bit dark at the bottom. It looks like tricky lighting conditions with brightness at the top and dark at the bottom. I wonder if a graduated filter would have helped. Also did you deliberately tilt the shot as the water should surely be vertical. I think it might be worth having another go on a dull day. It seems to be one of the few subjects that works better without too much light.
What did you do in PP?
You've made me want to try it too.

Nice shot Mark, I'd never heard of this place but it looks like I'll have to pay it a visit.

I like the composition of your shot, the effect of a slightly slower shutter speed and the contrast of colours between the waterfall and the surrounding green.

What was your shutter speed?

Great effect with the waterfall. Using the slow shutter speed has made them appear as streaks, almost like icicles. Nice rich tones in the greens and the crystal blue water. Lovely picture, but then I am a sucker for slow motion water shots. I think the tilt adds to the comp.

Hej Mark,
Wow, this is a great capture of this waterfall. It looks really great. The surroundings are also very nice and I like the PoV you chose, well done!

Hey Mark,
This is a really pretty and refreshing shot. The bright green moss looks great and gives the photo that real dense rainforest feel. I also especially like how the water flows over the rocks like thin strings of glass. You captured the depth very well and I like the composition. Excellent work!

I am still trying to work out how you took this and where that water is coming from but it is a stunning shot.Technically it is spot on but it also has a surreal feel about it with the transluscent feel of the water and those fabulous greens.
