Tear me a new one.....

Quite sometime ago I posted the opposite side of this falls, my first time using the Big Stopper. This is, sadly, only my second time using it. Oh, how time flies.

Not sure why my pics look so much darker once I upload them. I worked on it a bit. Perhaps too much?

Sorry, not ripping you a new one. Just dying to see the right side of the span in the image. Might not be possible but my mind says this shot is incomplete.

I hear ya. In fact, in this shot I wanted to get rid of the fence, but I don't know how to in PP, and although I had my brand new camranger, I didn't use it whereas it would have been perfect to raise the tripod high enough:

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

Just as I suspected.

Not a bad shot really MD - I kind of like it for the good elements it has.

Like Gonzo said it would be nice to see the right side also. However, if that's not possible try a severely tighter crop just on the falls, bridge and cascading bricks, with the goal being your attention being focused on just THOSE elements. I feel it will make it a stronger image. IMO the trees at the left only distract and detract, and while the smooth water is an attractive element I'd either remove it entirely (my tight crop) or make a tight vertical crop.

Stop the presses. I found one with the whole span. Wish I knew how to get rid of the fence. Or do you think it adds anything? It's kind of ratty, no? Here's the whole span.

Like the shot, but bracket and not over processed HDR would have really made this pop as it is missing a lot of details in the blacks.

Honestly I'd just crop the bottom a bit and leave a smidge of the fence in the corner, not ideal but not worth the effort to remove.

Great shot. I like the two opinions above.

very much appreciate everyone's input. Here's a tighter crop. As to bracketing, I did try that. Haven't put them together yet.

Better... but you cropped out the right side. Leave it intact, I think you need that little waterfall complete. In fact... bring back the left side too.

Can you pop the rainbow a bit somehow?

holy cow. I didn't even see the rainbow. I have no idea how to make it pop more.

I thought you could only bracket static subjects. Wouldn't the water look funny? Also, can you bracket with a 10 stop ND as I was using? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose? I think a lot of missing detail in the blacks is more to do with my ineptitude in PP than anything else. But thank you.

Personally I like the last one, but would like to see to the far left side of the image. It wont be the correct ratio anymore, but would be awesome...ok instead I just decided to do an edit

Keep in mind I have no training on PS so sorry it's garbage
