I would have moved in closer to get the trees on the left and right out of the frame. That would also get you closer to the people and to the waterfall. The shot seems take too far back from what you were trying to capture.

I agree the shot is too far back. Moving in closer would help.

The only reason that I would move in closer is that otherwise the family is not even noticed because they blend in with the rocks. The composition was excellent as is, but carefull zooming in might give it more impact.

This is the tightest crop that I could imagine -

Love the colour in the rocks mate and glad to see you're getting a bit of water there. Hope the Cyclone didn't do any damage over your way.

Lost a tree in the yard but nothing more. The green is rare over here as you know.

Have more pics of the day if anyone is interested in this location.
