Waterfallage prior to photochop meet

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.

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

nice ray-age there Suren :wink: , 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.

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

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.:D :D :D

:biglaugh: 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). :chook:

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

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..

cheers for braving the cold :)
