Great shot and a worthy winner. Love the use of FG to give this image depth, and the faster shutter speed to not blur the water works well. Nicely done and congratulations.

What an excellent vantage point for these falls.

This shot is very well framed. The placement of the falls gives the viewer a clear view of the water course. The greenery on the right adds fine texture and balances the water flow nicely.

The exposure sharp and all aspects are well focused - I can see individual water droplets. What's not to be over looked is the texture of the sedimentary rock. They give a "Deliverance" kind of feel to the take - like it.

The only thing I would suggest is next time you are shooting waterfalls use a tad slower shutter speed.

I am partial to waterfalls and this ones beautiful, well done ... Bob

Comment from Ray Gordon


This came out great looks like layered slate. The water is beautiful as it cascades into the green pool lightening it slightly with its spray. The Green foliage blankets the area. I could sit right there and hear the sound of the falls as it bounced through the walls of the gorge. I could go on forever, it is so nice to see this. LeeAnn this amazing, everything about this picture is fantastic, a reviewers inspiration, I am sure cause I feel it. Thank you for this and good luck in the contest. Ray

Even though I'm not the best swimmer, I love ro be in water and I love water shots. A waterfall.is the most amazing perks of nature we can watch and your talent of capturing the movement and the visuals w lush green surround is mesmerizing.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of those waterfalls. Colours, textures and tones are good. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Nicely done!

This is a beautiful photo of the falls!
The colours are lovely, and the image is crisp with excellent dof. Waterfalls are never easy as they tend to be rather dark, but you've captured the whole scene very well. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Skilled capture of this lovely scene. The foliage is so lively in its lush greens, as is the background. Fine title. The waterfalls themselves are especially lovely and all clear enough in the night or dusk. Best wishes in the contest.

This is a very cool waterfall photo; with great detail, super color and excellent contrast. There is absolutely no shakiness or blur, which is very impressive.
