At first I would have said that cropping the top off the first would have helped the composition but when I looked longer it was fine. I really like the water in the foreground which gives a real impression of smooth flowing water, contrasting with the white of the waterfall. Very good to look at. The second shot's good as well, but the green looks a little unnatural (on my monitor anyway).

Cheers - I'm not happy about that green either.

First shot is superb. It just goes to show there's no substitute for using a tripod and setting up properly for the shot. It looks like you plonked the tripod in the water there and got your feet wet? :lol:

The second shot is OK but the green does look too saturated.

Just checked my files in RawShooter - seems that for the last pic I had moved the saturation slider. Old age + not wearing my specs...

The conditions were great - overcast and without much filtered sun so I could use a long(ish) exposure. Waterproof boots saved the day though!

What sort of time exposure wise ?

1 second at f8 I think Ian. :wink:

It's a shame you didn't take a second shot with a faster shutter speed to freeze the water although you'd probably have struggled for DOF.
