Staying on topic, I like the photo, but the things that bother me the most are:
1. Blue cast to the water. This should be fairly easy to correct, and I'm sure there are multiple ways to do it.
2. The composition bugs me a bit. The subject is a bit centered. For me, I like to see space for the waterfall to fall into. In your photo, I'd like to see more space on the right side of the photo, and perhaps see a the pool into which the water is flowing, if there was one.
Other than that, it's pretty nice. It seems a little soft. Is this a cropped photo? Or perhaps it was handheld and it's the slow shutter speed that caused the softness. Or, and with me this is always an option, I'm just seeing things.
Ok, I just checked your website, and I don't think I have any right to give you too much advice. I will say, though, this is by far not your strongest work.
thanks, Moe. yeah, i agree, it's far from my best, but it was the best i got out of a rather unproductive trip to Big Four Mountain. this is a crop from a larger image. the bottom of the falls was just a jumble of rocks, and the top was so far above that the falls itself was just a ribbon, but this part of the falls had a ghostly, misty look that appealed to me... shot from a tripod, it's the slow shutter that gives the water that soft, misty look.
