Floydian (30970) 2006-08-20 10:21 Hello Kath,

Colours are good ;-)

I like the scenery as it is, but have problems with the right part of the image. There is not much going on in that part, only the foliage and some rocks. I made here a much tighter crop, more focusing on the waterfall itself, but also that was not good enough for me. And maybe because of that, this is the best way to present it i think.

So after all.....i like it ;-)

Another nice waterfall shot. Nice POV and beautiful colors.

As usual excellente quality.



Well done,

robiuk (10807) 2006-08-20 10:42 Hi Kath,

I love all your recent shots of falls (Aysgarth), but this one I like the best - must be the composition!

Great portion of interesting rocks in the FG together with lush greens around and a carefully positioned falls in the upper left corner, make this a smashing scene!

Congrats,

Robi

Cormac (26565) 2006-08-20 10:45 Beautiful place, and also a beautiful photo. I like the smoothed out waterfall from the time exposure. It's good that you showed the surrounding area and not just the falls, because it gives a nicely balanced look. Excellent work!

john_c (24666) 2006-08-20 11:01 Hi Kath,

This is indeed one of my favourite walking areas and it makes a great start to the day to view these falls and then amble slowly up the path above. Here you capture the falls very well using your tripod. The lighting is just fine and details clear. The moss growing on the rocks, including around the falls themselves, is rather enhancing. Well captured, Kath.

Very nice waterfall and good point of view. Beautifull coulours and captured.

Have a nice sunday.

sabyasachi1212 (19779) 2006-08-20 11:18 You seem to have a soft corner for waterfalls Kath and you capture them in your own style with this slow shutter speeds. The result as usual is brilliant with the stillness of the woods contrasting the smooth flow of the water. Certainly one for the desktop calendars.

plimrn (21344) 2006-08-20 12:16 Hi Kath,

You're establishing yourelf as true expert in capturing stunning waterfall shots. The framing is perfect with the two waterfalls cascading out from the leafy bower, the satin water, the calm pool and the foreground rocks as the river resumes its downward plunge are all captured with wonderful detail and color.

Regards, Pat

peter1892 (1681) 2006-08-20 12:36 Hi Kath, you've got that nice long exposure effect on the waterfall which is pleasing to the eye. Also the composition is good as there is plenty of detail amongst the rocks in the foreground to keep to viewer occupied.

jjbach (9326) 2006-08-20 17:15 Hi Kath,

Excellent composition, very crisp, with beautiful colours and lighting. I like the effect of the slow shutter speed.



Regards John

eza1701 (3345) 2006-08-20 18:56 Great shot Kath, well worth going back with the tripod for. The composition with the rocks in the foreground is wonderful and your slow shutter has created that excellent effect on the waterfall.

singuanti (15250) 2006-08-20 22:04 Hi Kath. Wow I really like this one quite a bit. You did well in including that big rock in its entirety in the bottom right. Again your exposure and slow shutter speed is perfect.

dsidwell (9783) 2006-08-20 23:24 Super, clear and lovely image, Kath. I love the point of view, and the mood is so lovely! Nice work!

macondo (20449) 2006-08-20 23:41 Good combination of slow shutter and small aperture to create silky waterfall, and maintain great DOF. The colour and light are lovely, but I would prefer to see the waterfall itself more in the middle of the photo, and the large rock closer to the bottom right corner.

Regards,

Andrew

Graal (103040) 2006-08-21 2:32 Hi Kath,

another interesting view of waterfall. Good idea - tripod and 1/4 sec., falling water is beautiful. Excellent composition and sharpness. Good work. I like it.

Rgs, Aleksander

coco (30439) 2006-08-21 2:45 HI Kath.

Splendid composition and also beautiful.

The exposure makes the photo so nice.



Well seen.

Dragonheart (8434) 2006-08-21 3:09 Hi Kath,

Well done

Thanks for sharing

Another nice waterfall shot. Nice POV and beautiful colors.

Excellent quality.

tcht (7565) 2006-08-21 5:01 Hi Kath,

Excellent position of the falls + superb framing by the trees. And this time you've got good lighting, especially on the stones.(and trees too, producing good shadows and layering).

I also have a personal preference for smaller and silky waterfalls, so I'd say this is your best waterfall shot! Congratz,

lasscor (7640) 2006-08-21 6:00 Hi Kath,

Wonderfull Falls.

Great fresh composition.

Nice pov, dof, soft light, colors and sharpness.

Good balance between water falls and green foliage.

Nice calm atmosphere.

TFS,

Corinne

carper (96) 2006-08-21 7:06 another good shot Kath,

these falls are beautifull for a photographer,

the point of view is well choosen, the angle is good and the details are fine, very good job,

gr. jaap

ben4321 (9875) 2006-08-21 8:02 This is a beautiful scene Kath, and the soft diffused light is perfect for this kind of photograph.

The composition is good and I like how you've blurred the waterfall with the slowish shutter speed. I'm glad you didn't blur it too much; I'm not really a fan of shots with a massive amount of water blur, although when its done well I sometimes change my mind.

Good work.

Cheers,

Ben

chrisnet (23062) 2006-08-21 9:00 Hello Kath,

J'aime beaucoup ce paysage rafraichissant,il me semble entendre couler l'eau de la cascade,j'ai l'impression d'être présent sur le site tellement ta photo est réaliste.Une très belle composition.

Congratulations dear Kath

Chris

Tue (79600) 2006-08-21 14:35 Hej Kath,

A good capture of these falls, well composed. I like the rather low POV as the stones are a good addition to the foreground. The silky effect of the falls is also nice. Good work!

Hilsen,

Lars

guillaumejm (0) 2006-08-21 15:26 Hello Kath,

Again a perfect waterfall picture. Very well executed : perfect sharpness (even more than perfect) great colours and light and very good depth of field. What I really like in the composition is the exposure time you choose, very appropriate giving this special effect on the waterfall itself. But what is incredible is that this exposure time seems not affecting the other part of the river: this is really great.

I also really appreciate the contrast of the waterfall and the vegetation and also this calm part of the river on the right.



Kind regards

JMarc

jwmunro (286) 2006-08-21 15:35 Wow Kath, you finally got a really good waterfall. As far as I can see you got everything right on this one. The right hand side is a bit busy and, IMO only, about 1/5 of the right could be cropped to tighten the image. Veiling of the fall is right on the money. There is a good balance of shadows to mid-tones with some detail in the shadows.



Print it large, matte it, frame it, and hang it. It would look really nice hung on the wall.



Did I say excellent image? Well done. Thanks for sharing.



John

Muse (35030) 2006-08-22 3:24 Hello Kathm

Une autre jolie vue de ces chutes.

on pourrait presque tendre la main et toucher l'eau, enfin c'est l'iumpression que cette photo donne tant elle est precise et nette;

Les couleurs sont tres belles, l'endroit magique.

Merci pour cette decouverte

PixelTerror (0) 2006-08-22 4:09 Hi Kath,

I have seen your several waterfall photos and I find this one is definitely one class higher, you have a good off centered composition with a small leading perspective and a nice rocky foreground, the smooth effect of the water looks good to be withoug being too strong and unnatural, and the whites of the waterfall contrast very well against the green surroundings. Just excellent this one !

Have a nice day,

Jean-Yves

cjmm (4479) 2006-08-22 7:58 Hi Kath,



Beautiful scenery and a spot-on exposure, both in terms of speed and f/stop, to make of this a brilliant waterfall photo.



Very well done!



Kind regards and have a nice week,

Carlos

agbonavita (0) 2006-08-22 12:23 This Yorkshire Dales National Park it is a really pretty place to visit. But besides the beauty I think it is a cold place too.



Nice veil result on the fall.



Thanks

Fantastic cascade and beautiful place, the composition is perfect, the light is smooth and pleasant in spite of the difficulty of the shot, good work!

ciec (1081) 2006-08-28 9:14 Hello Kath,

I just went trough your recent shots.

This is the one i like most. The well positionned waterfall as main subject and the rocks and lush greens giving all the depth make ik a great composition, i think.

InasiaJones (31566) 2006-09-05 3:25 Hi Kath,



Im desperately seeking for this kind of photogenic falls in my area, but Im afraid Ill have to visit England once again, because theres nothing comparable to this! So amazingly beautiful! Good use of the slow shutter to create a velvety water flow.



The surrounding is also splendid, reminiscent of an english garden, in aquatic version. Very well framed aas the fall are slightly off-centered. Impeccable!



André

Coming back :)

sebcz (2345) 2006-09-08 10:37 Just a brilliant photo! Flowing is beautifully pictured, great composition.
