Lovely concept. I like when people shift from taking in the whole waterfall to just a smaller segment of it. It works especially well when, like you've done here, they select a nice mossy segment. My only objection is that I'm seeing a little too much green in the water itself. If it is natural reflection, then I suppose it isn't objectionable, but I might adjust the color slightly if it isn't natural. 

I like it. Nice contrast, feels like winter. I might have put the bird farther to the bottom left of the frame with this field of view, based on my personal preferences. 

This is a B&W conversion of the moody image I posted the other

day. Slight tweaks to contrast and shadow, with a simulated red filter.

I actually prefer the color version, I'm curious if anybody feels the

same and can articulate why.

I very much like the mood. It was a very interesting morning, and I think the image captures the mood of that morning. I don't know, I'm just wondering if I should pull a little more out of the shadows in post-processing. Not a lot, just a little bit...but when I tried it ruined the mood. Maybe I'll see how it prints as-is.

Correction: This is in Talladega National Forest, NOT Bankhead.

I posted several photos from this location a week ago, but I was

disappointed by how they were showing up on Photo.net. I suspect I

forgot to resize them and apply some extra sharpening for display

here. This is a corrected image. Let me know what you think.

It is a real soap bubble. I was thinking of trying it with a static substance, but regular soap bubbles worked surprisingly well. The pipe cleaners do not pop the bubble so long as they are good and wet.

I was a little disappointed in my results in color this morning, but I like

some of the images I captured with monochrome conversion in mind.

I'm partial to this image, but I'm also a little distracted by the top left,

and annoyed by the focusing slightly, as the falls are not quite in

focus. Let me know what you think.

Of course I don't mind, and I totally see what you are saying. I hadn't even thought about trying to correct this in post-processing, mostly because it is my weakest area. But seeing it now, it really would be nice to have a better light source. 

Unfortunately, not at this time. All my windows face north, and this would be extremely difficult outdoors. Obviously, when I'm able I should try sunlight, either when I've got access to a south facing window, or when it is very still outside.

I've fiddled with ways of hiding the work light, or working without it, but without strong side lighting the scene falls apart, and I've been at a loss on how to obscure it successfully. 

It's a soap bubble, covering moss, which has broccoli stuck in it, all resting on coffee grounds. ;) Thanks for the compliment!

This time with pipecleaner trees. Cannot believe they did not pop the

bubbles. Let me know what you think.

Another try. I almost cannot believe these pipecleaner trees did not

pop the bubble. Let me know what you think!

Spectacular!

I like it. The scene and lighting were quite nice. I'm found of the composition, as you created a nice framing of the stream. Personally, I would have toned down the saturation boost just a tad, but some of that could be from the resize, and I'm still enjoying this image quite a bit. Thumbing through your portfolio...wow...just wow.

A nice photograph, with decent composition, a wonderful pose, good color, and a lovely lady. However, you went a little overboard with the post processing. Nice as-is, but with the potential for more.

Just an ordinary dish soap bubble, blown over the subject using the fat end of a baby oral medication syringe.

Very lovely. Personally, I would have cropped at the stream's edge and just included the water, since you did such an exceptional job portraying that part of the scene.

Exceptional. As presented, I'll agree the watermark would be less distracting in another (preferably top) corner. Otherwise, I love it!

This is a very lovely waterfall tucked just above a much larger falls

on White Creek in the Sipsey Wilderness portion of Bankhead

National Forest, in northern Alabama. Valentine Pond refers to the

hottub like plunge pool located offset from the waterfall.

This is a challenging waterfall to photograph. During the morning, the

sun comes in from an angle that hits right onto the face of the

waterfall. The pool is highly dependant on current flow conditions. It

is more interesting at low water, when the level of the water is *just*

above the rim of the pool. Unfortunately, then the waterfall is barely

flowing. This is an image taken at high water, so the pool is less

visible, but the waterfall is actually a waterfall, rather than a trickle.

I had to do an unsual amount of work in DPP to get an acceptable

photograph out of the RAW file. I'm curious what you all think.
