Boti Falls, Ghana

Adam,  I like this alot, the framing really makes it special.  An the greens are very vibrant.  It looks like in this case the focus/exposure is set to the foregroundrather than the falls, which makes them slightly fuzzy and overexposed.  As per your philosophy of shooting it as you see it, this likely matches the view you had at the time.  I'd have also liked to see a version with the falls in focus and the border unfocused.  It might have made the falls more the focus of the image rather than the background.  I flipped through your other shots a bit to see if you'd tried it that way and didn't see one but did see many other great shots.  You've been to some cool places.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Charles. Yes, you're right about the focal point of the picture needing to shift to the falls. I had just bought my first telephoto lens and was just so tickled at the idea of being able to get this shot (which was actually only a small hole in the foliage at some distance from where I stood), which would have been impossible with my standard 18-55 lens, that I didn't notice that the focus was on the foliage until I downloaded it onto my computer. Too late now! An expensive mistake to fix, as I don't foresee another trip to Ghana for work purposes any time in the near future. Lesson learned for next time. Thanks for pointing that out.
