Kids, don't try this at home...

Looks ok DJ. I'm not one to offer an opinion or even make a suggestion. I certainly would never do that .... far be it from me to even plant a seed of an opinion.... Not me Sir!

In the history of western culture, there is a rumor that only 5 images were meant to be in b&w. DJ, I think we just found the sixth. By converting this image to b&w, you could be setting the course for all photographers to follow us in history to come.
It's a huge responsibility DJ but I think your and you alone can handle the task.

This post comes on a Sat nite after a few shots to relax the weary head of the shooter...

 

A very nice cascade! Waterfalls are among my favorite subjects.

 

What he said. I suspect that a B&W of this great shot will make it spectacular.

Oh - and make a print of this one. Please.

On the other hand, I've had a few shots too, so take that into account...

 

Try it, Jason - humor the old Shooter and some o' the rest of us.

It's a beautiful cascade you've captured here.

 

Yes, the B&W is very nice.

May I make a tiny suggestion? Just for your consideration. Try cropping a bit off the bottom. There is a 'natural' horizontal line there. Cropped to cut off most ( but not all) of the large rock I sense the direction in which the eye is drawn is even more powerful.

Nicely made photograph just as it is.

 

It's Alive.... It's Alive......!
It's starting to breathe......
We are all holding our breath untill you finish it...

 

That's a beautiful shot!

All the best,

Colin

 

I reckon crop the bottom to make it a square format, increase the contrast, and you're there. Nice work.

 

OK. Pass the bottle.   :smile:

 

I would continue to work on the first image as well - the rocks seem to have more substance in color - the moss adds some life (literally) to the picture.
