Killing me...Beautiful shot! I see photos everyone posts on here and it just makes me want to move somewhere more photogenic. The Midwest is great and all but I can't think of one single waterfall nearby...

Thanks! Yeah, we don't have too many but we sure have enough [emoji16][emoji5]️

Very nice, love how you placed the leaf in the foreground.

That little touch definitely MADE the image. Thanks!

Yes it did. If you don't mind me asking. Did you use manual and what shutter speed?

Full manual. Polarizer was on the front. f16, ISO 50, 16mm, and a 25 second exposure.

Cheers!

Nominated for October POTM.

Thank you for sharing.

And thank you for the nomination! It means a lot. Long ago I used to be worried that I only took images that I like and others didn't care much about them, but I've come to realize that now I take images that I like, and if others enjoy them, that's cool too. [emoji5]️

Cheers!

Nice shot, though I'm conflicted as to whether I like the leaf in the foreground or not.
It pulls the eye so much. I think I want it to be sharper as a result. Then I scroll to see the shot without it.
I suppose if I can't decide, it doesn't matter.

I think it may be too strong.

I'm nit picking of course, but I go through this with my own shots so why not when I CC other's shots?

Just to be clear, I do like the photo.

Nice shot. I've got to go against the grain. I think the leaf draws your eye away from the focal point of the picture which are the falls. I actually think you have to 2 great picture in the scene. Cropping the leaf out in one and cropping down to just leaf, rock and water.

I definitely understand where you and the above are coming from. As a stand alone shot the lead clearly dominates the photo and demands attention. I have other shots of JUST the falls, but I chose to share this one because I wanted the leaf to be the focal point. It's fall, and I *think* this photo conveys that. If I don't forget I'll post the second with no leaf.
