Hello John,

I like this shot even better than your previous photo of this remarkable falls. A forty-story drop for that water into a pool! I like very much your succinct but engaging note. The vantage point for the photo is well chosen, and of course a vertical configuration is the only way to shoot this place. The composition and colors are vivid.

Warm regards,

Bulent

nice composition and great subject. nice water smoothness. i'd increase contrast a bit to get rid of some of the haze.

This is an impressive water fall. And everything is si green around it that it appears they do not have the same draught problem as we are experiencing in Australia. I like your vertical composition. Well done.

Hi John,
Beautiful watefall here. I like the many the greentones in this photo but they seem to be a bit flat even though it was very cloudy. Good length in your photo covering the entire waterfall and a little more. TFS.

Hi John,

Amazing waterfalls! I like the way you framed it, with no sky in the shot. Good POV and nice composition. Interesting note as well.
Nice job!

What a fanrastic POV you must have had to get the whole of this fall into the frame. It also looks like vertigo could be a problem. Good off-centre framing and choice of shutter speed.

Hi John,
Wow that's a high one. And the place looks like a well, quite upright. Very green scene, so much so that it works as a special effect.

Hi John:

Lovely shot and interesting note. I wish there were some way to show the scale of the fall, as I wouldn't have guessed it was over 200 feet, let alone 400. Well done all around though. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!!! As you already know, I have to see at least one waterfall a day. This one fills the cup completely. Wonderful, luxious green framing this thin thread of water that takes the whole frame from the very top to the very bottom. Great inclusion of some foliage as foreground in the lower bottom. Without that it would be a flat and boring picture.

Hi John,
I love this shot of Akaka Falls. You have shown the splendid drop well. I like the detail of the water particularly as it enters the water. Smart to frame it without the grey sky. The FG flower really adds to the DOF.

BTW: I posted the changes your suggested to my pink sunrise, It really worked well. It's the fiorst time I've use a mask like that and it was really easy. I was so entranced, I tried it on several other photos but they didn't open up like that one. Thank you so much!!

HLJ, Pat
