Cooking up some images at the Devil CauldronIt was more like the Cauldron stirring me up with some unexpected sets almost getting myself in hot (cold) water.
For your C&C. I am unsure about the square crops etc and would love some input.
Re: Cooking up some images at the Devil CauldronLike #1 but the misted water makes it feel more mystical than devilish.
#3 compositon and crop opens up the flow of the water in the channel but it needs the colour from #1. Craig

Re: Cooking up some images at the Devil Cauldron1 and 2 have a very nice feel to them, I particularly like the compo on #2, something different and I like those little waterfalls.
The last two need a bit of PP love i reckon (maybe just the contrast boosted and the colour cast adjusted - a bit too cool?), I will definitely have another look soon - the second look is always where my opinion gets concreted in gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: Cooking up some images at the Devil CauldronI like #1 and #3
Agree with gerry that #3 could be warmer and I reckon it could have been shot from a bees dick to the left (you'll possibly see a smidge more of the main channel as well). I'm still trying to decide if I prefer the overall mistiness of #1 (almost like it's totally lacking contrast - like lens flare plus - but produced from the long exposure misty water) or whether more punch/contrast would change it (perhaps too much)?

Re: Cooking up some images at the Devil Cauldron#1 and #2 definitely.
#1 could do with more contrast and saturation, but is beautiful even as is. #2 would work great even if it was cooler, a very frosty look! Cameron

Re: Cooking up some images at the Devil CauldronI like them all.. the scenery there is obviously beautiful... I don't normally like square crops as I sometimes feel that I'm missing out on something but they suit these...
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
