Galena Falls

Lovely scene and some amazing light you've captured here (beautiful glow around the waterfall).

Composition-wise it's a very good idea you've decided for a square crop. Everything here balances itself in your frame.

I would only move the main subject (the waterfall of course) closer to the lower-left corner and leave a bit more sky in the upper-right one. In that way it would be even more "striking" and you would place your waterfall in a stronger focal point.

Finally - my other criticism is to do with the exposure handling. You've done a very good job with almost entire frame, but sadly the sky is pretty much burnt-out (which is a bit of a shame).

Not sure whether it was a single exposure or whether you've used any filters here, but I'll try to see if you could do something about it.

All in all - it's a lovely view and definitely worth a flawless execution.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Thank you very much for your thoughtful critique, my friend.  I certainly agree on both counts, and hope to venture back to this spot and apply what I've learned. 

Yes, compositionally it is very nice and good choice of light, but image suffers by overexposure, sharpness and aberrations. All the best. +Lalit
