Very nice light indeed! I really have to reclaim my weekends sooner rather than later!

nice ray-age there Suren , how about giving it a whack with the saturation and contrast, it feels a bit flat at my end, also a bit of vignetting on the bottom part to really send the viewer to the falls.

nice rays there Suren - the bottom is a bit of a jumble for me tho - perhaps chop the bottom third off?

Suren Is that a shaft of Photoshop shining down the slope?? I'm sure that's one of the topics that I covered on Sunday.

I would never insert shafts of photoshop into my pictures! They are straight out of camera (I let the camera do all the edits with JPG).

I prefer the first rendition of this image with its cooler tones. The foreground details give the image more depth over the cropped version.

Thanks Geoff, I am in two minds about it. I actually warming up to the crop.

Note to self....next time take a pocket knife to trim dead fern leaves....
Also, didn't think to get a picture with fern keeping still.

Suren, i like both versions of the last two posted, the crop works, but I think the uncropped one works as well.
That small amount of air movement was annoying with the ferns, but can't be helped..
