Thanks for the comments Skip, I do usually like the eye to be able to go through the picture so not sure that this is a composition problem. There is a pretty large canopy of foliage there to hold the image together. I didn't want to have the natural flow of water as I wanted the smoothness here to contrast with the heavy trexture of all the foliage. I did other shots with slower water, one with it actually frozen but it made it look very busy and messy. I had to go for a slow exposure anyway to get a decent amount of light in the lower part of the picture. The foliage had some contra-jour lighting but the lower canopy was very dark and the rocks very black indeed so a slow exposure was the only way to go.

I'll be interested to see if anyone else thinks their eye is led out of the top. The generally accepted principle is that the eye is drawn to the lightest point of a picture and in this case that is very definitely the waterfall. Although the upper foliage is fairly light, it is considerably darker than the water so shouldn't be taking the eye away except for allowing the viewer to wander through if it wants to, if you see what I mean.

Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Cheers,
Rob
