    Hi,

    I got this EARLY this morning, so i am knackered as i write this. Took this while brewing a nice cup or Strawberry & Mango tea and sat and watched the waterfall while i drank it. A lovely morning.

    And i did a mono conversion, which i think i prefer, because the mist looks like mist :P

    yes works for me on all counts. Great shot well worth getting up early for. Prefer the colout version by far

    That’s a gem and I think your early start was well rewarded. There’s nothing I’d change on the colour version but to be honest, the B&W doesn’t really work for me. Normally I’d trump for Mono shots but definitely not in this case.

    composition is very good. looks lovely. only thing is the blown out water, lets it down IMO.

    Yep, i realise that the highlights are blown out, i’ll put it down to being inactive for a long time and will redo the shot and repost :)

    Well, here is a second attempt, and to be honest, i take it all back. It was a pretty poor attempt at processing and sometimes someone telling you that pays off.

    Anyway, please comment and critique as you like, i will re-PP any other things that look a bit iffy :P

    Overall, i am much happier with it, i managed to get some detail from both the highlights and shadows in Photomatix, after i read the manual for it…DoH!

    Second edit in colour, really nice and I think that would convert better
    too.
