#1 I like that perspective, I guess I am liking the compositions of the falls that are bit different to the straight on shots and this one makes the cut in my books - the only improvement imo would be if you had a handy fellow to hold back those two trees partially hiding the upper portion of the falls :rotfl2:

Nice fungi in #2 as well, I wish I had time to have a crack at this one, those little white bits on the top look great. Good balance on this one but I can tell thats a road in the BG :wink:

Lower empress falls - this is a simliar composition to Gary's (Elver) one in the sense its a tight shot concentrating on teh water and that colourfull rock, however, and I am not sure why, but I like garys composition more - I actually think his waterfall shot was one of teh best.

yep like this composition, nicely framed creek and I think this might have been one of the better spots in that area - it is quite hard to visualise these kind of shots from up on the banks, its not until you get right down into the water or on the rocks do they become a bit more apparent. :up:

westie..

good looking dragon, maybe a bit more warmth? looks cool on my monitor, but that could just be my end.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

They are fantastic photos, all of them. Love the mushroom one in particular.
