Hey,

I love Punch Bowl Falls, I went there once but that was before I knew what I was doing. This composition seems confusing as there is a lot of brush everywhere, and an out of focus leaf is blocking the falls, the main subject. Hope this helps.

I am SO impressed ith all the 'wonderfall' pictures everone has posted here, thanks to all for your contributions and please keep them coming. Here's one more from me, taken while I was away ~ a pic from the Yosemite falls, one of many I took.

Sorry about this - but I couldn't resist a close up of the top of the same falls - the trees looked like crystals in the orig higher res pic.

Wow beautiful shots Geoff Chandler. Sea Slug thats nice too but the overall image looks kinda flat to me but still very nice.

Well, for what it's worth, that photo was taken with my old digital camera that was fully automatic and digital photos were not my priority. I would take quick shots with the digital and then compose better photos with my SLR. It was actually tough to get through the brush that day for a photo... Even the SLR shots didn't turn out too good... Oh well....

That is a really nice photo - nice slow shutter speed giving the dreamy effect on the movement of the water. I noticed that bluedog made mention of the picture looking a bit flat - sometimes the truth is a bit flat - if you want to liven it up quickly, and you have a suitable graphics package, try a gentle lift in the middle in curves, maybe even a tiny lift to the red as well? - then apply a slight bit of unsharp mask - this should add a breath of additional life to it ~ I'm at work at the moment without any packages - but maybe someone else will do it and show you... if not I'll maybe do an example after work.
Great pic!, & thanks for sharing

Silver Falls, OR taken in July 2000 with a Nikon 990 (1/700, f2.5, ISO200, 38mm). One of the neat things about silver falls is that you can walk behind it near the top.
