Waterfall in B+W

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Waterfall in B+W

Postby Willy wombat on Tue Aug 23, 2011 12:11 am

I have had pneumonia these past few weeks and I dragged myself out of bed today and sat down to dig through some photo archives.

Found this one and decided it leant itself to a high contrast B+W treatment.

Glad to hear you're better.

Love the b&w treatment - the tones of the water and ferns are great!

Agreed (on both counts) - the light is great. One miniscule nitpick - that oof fern on the middle left is perhaps a tiny distracting?

I like how youve kept the fringes quite dark and not lightened them up- i tend to try and even out the exposure on everything and youve given me some inspiriation not to have it all look as if it was daylight even in the shadows! PS where is this?

Very nice. It conjures up the image of walking along a creek through thick bush and suddenly you come to this ....

Hi guys - thanks for the feedback on this image

The waterfalls are the Hopetoun falls. Quite famous down here in Victoria.
