Hi Otto,

A very nice composition with the water rushing down the mountainside. An a wonderful landscape Unfortunately, the lighting conditions were not the best and the shaded rock is very dark. Perhaps not very much to do about but I would have tried to have a little less of the bright rock in foreground.

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Otto,
I like the strong diagonal of the falls roaring across the frame. The contrast between the light and shadow is wonderful; it really gives a true feeling of mountain streams. That little spot of perfectly exposed green and sky is amazing; it makes the shot.

Hello Otto,
I like the diagonal whitewater, adding action to the scenery!
A well composed image with fine variation in light, good foreground interest and a fine feeling of depth!
Greetings,
