I was walking in the Plotter Kill Preserve and decided to be risky and climb down to take a few shots of these falls. As it turns out I ended up sliding halfway down the very rugged "path" to the bottom on my rear, haha. After all was said and done I wasn't even all that impressed with the pic but I hope you all enjoy. CC Welcome.

Shot with my EOS 50D and Canon 10-22 UWA: 1/4s f/8.0 at 10.0mm iso100

Sounds like you had fun sliding down. I'd like to try that, ha.

Anyway, I think that it's a great photo. I like the composition; the placement of the falls goes well with the curving rocks on the left.

Might I suggest reducing the amount of blue in the image and tilting the image so that the falls are aligned with the edge of the frame? Its a great image but the blue in the falls and the slight tilt bother me.

I warmed up the image and re uploaded. It was prob the crap monitor I was using at work. Let me know if it looks better to you. As far as the tilt, if I do that the center fall looks off tilt. I think this is just distortion from the UWA.

Thanks for the CC.
