Long exposure of spring moonrise over magnificent landscape.

Thanks for looking.

The twin waterfalls creates winds and sends mist high up in the air.

Standing on the edge I felt a faint breeze, and sometimes a fine spray of

water particles on my face from below.

From the edge there is a free fall of 183 m./600 ft.

Thankful for comments.

I have never seen anything quite like this Seung. Totally amazing photograph with so much going for it. Such a unique place, and the composition is awesome.

Composition and exposure are just excellent.

Beautiful place and very original scene. I would reduce the magenta tint and adjust the WB with some warming.

Wow Seung! Saw your photos a year or so ago and everytime i see you new work, very impressed. Beautiful shot! Recognise this scene from a photo done by Pat Di Fruscia, looks like the same place.

Keep it up pal,

Stuart

Lalit: I see what you mean. But, on the print it looks just the way I want it, giving the impression of subtle, night blue shadows with a minimal of warm tones. This was shot at night and available light was very faint. Not too often I go for cooler tones in my photography, but in this photograph I found it suitable.

Stuart: thank you. Now, it`s a long time since I`ve seen Pat`s work, but I do not think he has a photograph from this place though. But, I might be wrong ;-)

Thanks a lot for the feedback, guys! Quite a while since I posted anything here, so I`ll better post another one soon.

Best Wishes

A marvellous night shot of a beautiful landscape. What is the bright point on the left edge of the cliffs, a hut ? I can imagine a star trail version of this, I wish I could have a try...

Wonderful place and work !! Regards.

Spectacular scene, superbly photographed, Seung!

All the best,
Neil

Thank you very much for your comments!

Peter: it`s a result of one of my personal choices :-) It`s the headlights of a car that just happened to come around the bend during the exposure. I did not notice the car as I was overwhelmed with the height and loud rumble of the waterfalls at the time. Actually, I have two almost identical RAW-files, but of some bizarre reason, I liked this one with the tiny car lights. I perfectly understand if it seems odd to you...it seems odd to me to.

Again, thanks guys, for letting me know what you feel about this photograph.

Seung,

This is just amazing. What a breathaking view, so beautifully captured. I very much like the inclusion of the moon and some foreground. What a stunning photograph!

Well Done!
