waterfalls and flowing water Bald River Falls - Start of Autumn

This is one of my favorite waterfalls in TN, located just off the

Cherohala Skyway. I took during one of my fall foliage outings last

falls, very early in the morning. At higher elevations the leaves had

turned significantly, but down at the much lower elevation of Bald

River Falls, the leaves were just starting to fall off. It was very

cold that morning...

 

Let me know what you think.

I like the composition here but some of the white water is a bit too overexposed in places. That said, I know how difficult this exposure must have been.

I really like your balance here of the falls... only a little too cropped on right side, but that's just a personal opinion. very lovely.

Nice to run into your work, Joshua. Chasing falls, what a blast!

I would tend to agree that it was cropped a bit too much on the right side. The exposure on this one was unusually painful, it was very close to sunrise still, and there was no direct light. With a smaller waterfall, I would have been okay, but I think I needed to wait about five more minutes for the surroundings to brighten up to allow myself to be able to correctly expose the water and the rocks. The rocks are surprisingly dark in this particular location.
