I don't usually do many waterfalls unless there is a very attractive bg in the scene but I have been wanting to do something with this one for ages.
So, the last time I was on Skye, I thought to give it a go and do something slightly different, for me anyway.

And it is respected. ;)
However, this was my intention and not the whole waterfall. :)

Very nice, Dimitri. Too often I go for the entire waterfall, when it is also worthwhile to get close to certain features.

the old brown fern works well against the grass/moss and the flowing water giving a sense of scale, and sometimes you don't have to seen all of the view, seeing less makes you see more.

I love everything about this, perfect exposure, composition and detail in the water, though the greens look like they've been bumped up quite a bit.

I'm wondering if you placed the brown leaf there?!

No George, I didn't. If I had done so, I would put it in a better position. ;)

i like it, would like a B&W as well - i think it has plenty of hidden contrast and with that leaf i am sure it would look great.
