Water Fall a first try

C&C please. I wonder about the composition. Should I have included more foreground? Something is not quite right to me.

Thanks for looking

Roger

Re: Water Fall a first try

ss looks good and no blown highlights in the whites
biggest problem for me is the large clump of branches in the fg. not sure if it was possible but if you could have cleaned that out it would be a big improvement
aside from the clump I like this shot - beautiful stream

Re: Water Fall a first try

Agree about the branches as above but I also think that the exposure is too long for this particular waterfall, creating milky water without detail.

I personally think that long exposures work better on 'falls with distinct 'streams' of water within the flume (as in the extreme right edge of the upper right 'fall). A shorter exposure would've demonstrated movement without blurring to no detail

Thanks people

Will try a bit more "gardening" in future. It was only rubbish washed down in recent rain.

Markulous
Will try a few more at faster speed.

My original plan was to photograph Scale Force (Lakeland's Highest) but ran out of time.

So just a mini one (possibly lakelands smallest?)

I like it the way it is, but also think there are probably many variations to the shot that would work equally well

Maybe you could alter it to something like this, or there again it may not be to your taste - just a suggestion
