Congrats Andy - that's a very nice image... different that what we usually see here of waterfalls. Thank you for sharing. Now - I have to ask and mean no disrespect. The moon is perfectly exposed and beautifully positioned. Was it really there? Just askin......not criticizing.;)

Ok - so there is a little secret - the waterfall is in Snowdonia Wales UK and the moon was in Ontario Canada ! Not even sure if it is even in the right part of the sky !! knowing my luck i have put it in the West for a moon rise, but it looks good :-) - and you are one of the few who even questioned it :lol:

Cheers

Awesome picture! I wish my company would do something like that. It wouldn't even be about the prizes, just knowing people enjoy your picture is enough for me!
