Looks a little busy.....To much or too many water falls at once. If you focus on a smaller area, like the center waterfall, it would be a little more pleasing I think.

Also looks a little out of focus or maybe some camera shake.....A tripod would help the shakes. It needs some post processing to bring out the shadows a little bit.

That looks like a great area to get some great shots....!!!!

Maybe a slower shutter speed to get that "soft water" look like this....

DO IT THEN AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU MEAN

My initial impression is that you have to low an f-stop (f3.2?) and too high shutter speed, unless of course this was hand-held, did you use the tripod ? .

It is a pleasing on the eye shot yes but i think i should be coming up there and going on a shoot with you Ray .

Also do you have the camera set to super-fine ? ...

yes superfine

it is took with f/3.2 exposure time 0.010s(1/100)

Are you still in auto or have you tried manual yet ? ...

i did them in av

i would love to go with you gordon,the wifes in malta now for 2 weeks,so anytime give me a bell and we'll go

I want you to try manual Ray its going to be painful for a while but you`ll thank me afterwards i promise ) .

Go to the same location and set it to manual - alter the settings to shutter speed 1/200 ISO50 and F8 , thats of course if its daytime shooting - then take the same shot with a tripod, if it looks too dark on the LCD then alter the shutter speed higher ...

ok the photo above looks great ,but you got to agree its not natural you dont see water like that

I like this shot very much. It is interesting, and has good composition. The only criticism I have is the white water lacks detail. It's awfully hard to keep detail across such an exposure range, but it can be done with careful metering and some judicious post processing in PS.

i am a learner and i agree with you bobzellner ,i would rather try to achieve what you are saying,just to take a photo of gushing water at the expense of the rest of this beautiful location is not what i want,i guess what im trying to say to reeforbust is,your water is great,but your picture as a whole is very dull and uninteresting
RAY

Well, here's two of the same pics.....One with fast shutter, one with slow shutter. Everyone has their own like's and dislike's and I like the soft look that relays to you that the water is flowing and not just sitting there.... I guess I like the more artistic look.....
