I can't decide whether i prefer the colour, or the black & white, so i thought i'd get your thoughts on it.. ;)

B&W works better for me on this one. I'd play with adding a bit more contrast to the wall behind the falls as it seems a bit washed out in both versions.

That's all the moisture in the air, it was like a fine mist. I'll have a play with it though... Thanks for the comment ;)

Unfortunate that there were other random people in the shot. I would try to tool around with the content aware tool to remove them from the shot.

For me, having someone in the photo gives a useful sense of scale. I like that they are not recognizable; wish their clothing was brighter.

Looks like a very nice waterfall.

IMHO, they are too small and too dark to add more than a distraction to what otherwise is a very nice image. See what the image looks like with them removed.

Thanks guys.. If I get time tomorrow, I'll try removing them. I had the same thoughts about them giving scale to the image, but can see where you're coming from with the distraction comment. ;)

Personally, I prefer the B&W shot.

Thanks, but I don't have any issue with cc. The more opinions the better, I say. ;)

See if the OP said something like this, I'd respect it. Since you are just a viewer, it makes the comment easy to disregard. If the OP doesn't have an issue with CC then it might be better to just leave your nice comment and move on ;)

Thanks beano. I figured it would be better that I told you rather than ignoring what distracted me. What distracted me in the photo will most likely distract many other viewers so I figured you'd rather know.

PS, since the water seems muddy in the colored image, I prefer the BW one.
