Nice Picture! I might crop the left side a little to remove the little stones there in the corner…

What I really like is the EXIF data overlay! That is a really handy feature, and it actually looks nice! Unfortunately Lightroom doesn’t include such a feature.

On second thought, with a little research, and a lot of time spent on tweaking it, I’ve found a way to do it with Lightroom too!

Here’s my example…

(Sorry to hijack your thread like this, but I’m really tickled that Lightroom can do it, [albeit with a 3rd party plugin] ) 🙂

Hey @dhancock, looks like your photo sorta got overlooked by the community! I guess the picture was so good nobody could think of anything to say about it. 🙂

My first impression is “I want to go there!”. The vivid greens in the moss and background make me feel like this place is a lush and quiet place. The distant trunks of trees peaking over the rocks (though obstructed by the metadata information making me unsure exactly how distant they really are) add an amazing sense of depth as well as mystery because it makes me think that my entire surroundings are dense and filtered with magical green light.

So I think I would play on that. The information on the right (the extra section of the falls) and left (the blank slab of rock and intrusion of a few rocks and a brush of leaves) collectively add subtle distractions. I would attempt to position myself in such a way that one would allow the elements in the scene to be easily distinguish as foreground, middleground and background. Noticeable, and without thought.

The attached crop doesn’t do it justice, but perhaps it helps to visually see what I mean. The waterfall is much too large, but along with the mossy rock, there’s one distinct foreground. The eye moves easily into the dark, middle-ground rocks as it travels to the attractive, enchanting background.

Great exposure. Post processing is perfect, in my opinion. Subject is expressive, and shapes defined. I love waterfalls!
