Jägala Falls#3

I was a bit afraid to comment on this image for fear of discouragement, I don't like to do that, for me this image is so spoiled by so many things.  I tried to put myself there and wonder what I would have done to improve upon this composition.  So I went to your portfolio, and then WOW!  The other Jagala falls number 2 should have been here.  It is a 1000% better in everyway, it has everything that this image is missing, excitement, composure, angle, crop (in camera or other means), no ugly distractions and the people that possibly never seemed to move out of the way when you want them to are actually not distracting too much.  Number two is by far so much better.  I can understand you wanting perhaps to include the plants, the trouble with a camera is that it never really captures what our eyes see, what we are finding beautiful or what causes us to bring the camera to our eye in the first place.  That is why we often have to go through a sort of translation process between what we see and what is in our view finder, we have to make the camera make it beautiful or appealing, and often, having searched the scene with our physical eyes, we must then put the camera to our eye and search the whole scene again, sometimes for many minutes, without moving the camera from our eyes.  It's at this point that something comes into our viewfinder that ironically with our physical looking we can miss.  Anyway, well done on a brilliant shot for number two.

A beautiful shot with very nice lighting, Brian!
