Cedar Falls II Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another angle of Cedar Falls in Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. This was shot at the same time as the other picture of these falls in my portfolio, with similar settings. From this perspective I was wading in the pool below the falls, water was probably about 3ft deep. For this shot, I wanted to frame the tree in the upper right of the frame. However, by moving left to frame the tree, some of the beauty of the falls is taken away.

Hello Ben,
This is a superb shot. The clear details are amazing and the water falls looks like a ribbon of silk flowing down. It is skillfully done.
Kind regards,
Betty

Hello Ben,
Well done. The long exposure creates a soft light of the falls in an otherwise dark (but sharp) landscape. I particularly like the spill on the surface of the pool.
Regards,
Greg

Hello Ben! An exquisite shot of these falls, my compliments! I love how the water floats down and how you "deep" froze this moment. I guess this shot was a true challenge, not much light around but you managed this very well. Nice the tree of course adding a little color. Excellent! Best regards, Barbara.

Great composition with the water sliding in from the upper left and well balanced with the green tree on the right. As a minor nitpick, I the bright sky glimpsing through the tree could be toned down a bit.. but that't very minor, the image works well as it is.
