Rawdon River Fall Reflection III

This is superb. I would give it top marks if it was up for rating.

I like it for the movement, the kind of zigzag with the rocks and the DoF.  Very sharp. Bravo.

Tony, those colours are amazing. I assume that you have more like this. I would be inclined to crop from the top to the first ledge. The rock in the top RH corner looks a little flat compared to the rest of the image and the crop would diminish the impact.

Magic, great capture of beauty !

Many thanks - Jeff I will do the crop and have a look at it - thanks for the opinion. I had it up for rating a couple of days ago and the best it could do was a 4. I deleted it which is a standard policy I have but in this case I happen to like it enough to reload here. I may put it up for rating one more time to see if it is any different the next time around.

Tony,

   Beautiful image with wonderful colors & water flow.  Take care, Patsy

A beautiful composition with very nice lighting, Tony!

With best regards,

Ruud.

Very good composition with that digonal lines.  Very good light.  Sharp and clean.  Great work.  Best regards,

Tony, take a look at some of my ratings. I almost use them as a reverse indicator these days. I'm surprised that this image didn't do well. It has light, colour and action - an almost certain guarantee. I think that it is safe to say that the only use of ratings is to gain exposure to a wider audience.

I came back to rate it and I still think this is a great shot.  The composition is fantastic in the sense that the water makes me feel the movement going through the rocks.  Very clear and sharp.

This is a very beautiful image and I cannot see how it can be improved.

I would hang this on my wall anytime.

Beautiful image. I love the texture and softness in water. Mostly I find water too soft. This seems so perfect!

Best wishes... Sandeep

Patsy, Mari,  Ruud, Wanghan, Jeff, GungaJim, Richard, Joscelyn, John C, Sandeep - my apologies for my late response. I have been on the road and away from home for non-photographic reasons. All of your comments and ratings are very much appreciated. This autumn has blown by me and I simply did not get to do as much of that type of photography.  Yesterday as I drove from New York to Montreal, there was nothing but heavy rain,  almost freezing temperatures and some snow flurries. I kept my eyes open for photo opportunities but there were very few. All the best,

PS This is an image I plan to print and hang in my office!

Great use of all of the fundamentals! Color, shapes, lines, composition, etc. Very nice capture.

So much been said here at a time where this amazing image deserve it all, the slow shutter speed effect is very appealing, the well balanced exposure has also a great impact on the image well thought off composition.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Wonderful sense of motion. Gorgeous colors. Simply Fantastic.

Koushik - glad you liked the colors.

PDE - the zig-zag was something I was looking for when i captured the image. I am glad you spotted it and found it pleasing.

Lee - you have certainly described in detail what you liked about the image and that is appreciated. I will look at the tech details and pass them on to you. Just want to let you know that the speed of the water is a factor when choosing your shutter and if I remember correctly, I experimented with different shutter speeds.

Lloyd - glad you liked it.

Rashed - great comment

Guy - thanks for the kind words - I had a chance to visit your portfolio and i like the one with the little girl in her pajamas.

Excellent image, the eye is guided through the waterfall in a very pleasing way.

Very encouraging even to come cross it second time.  Just love the "S" curve, with the contract and a lot of details of the water and the static rocks.  Best Regards,
