Hi Tony,
Excellent ligt management in these bright conditions.
Love the slow exposure effect of the lovely falls cascading down to the gentle pond.
Wonderful vary shades of green everywhere in this lovely backwoods image.
Regards, Tom

Hi Ho,
Waterfalls tend to be very similar, and maybe so, but I like your perspective here with the falls spilling down through the center of the frame. Good colors and clarity. TFs. Gerald

the framing of this little fall is very pleasant. The management of the light is excellent. There is such an intensive atmosphere in this composition that one can even hear the water falling down! Great job.

Nice image! I like much this image in which water is so beautiful captured.

Hi Tony,
Nice image, I like the silky effect of the water in the waterfall, which you have obtained because of a good utilization of a slowly time of exposure.
The result is very good, with a strong and beautiful contrast between the whiteness of the water and the different darker green tones.
A beautiful work, my friend.
Best wishes,
Josep

Hi Tony. Beautiful capture. Excellent framing and composition, I love the way you have the waterfall curving down the bank. Good management of light also. Thanks for sharing.

Hej Tony,
waterfalls are waterfalls and always attracts us in there very specific ways ocf creting a break in the nature. This is a splendid example with a good light play in the greenery and a good DOF.

Hello Tony,
A good capture of this rushing waterfall. The foreground trees with their lovely subtle green tones make a fine frame for the falls.

Hi Tony
It's a wonderful place very well captured and composed. The little fall between the vegetation was well framed and good freezing of the water. Good POV for this composition. Well done. Regards, Consuelo

Olá Tony,
muito bonita essa queda d´água, e gostei também dessa vegetação ao redor. A qualidade boa de sempre. Belo trabalho amigo.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hello Tony,

There has been as much discussion about the speed at which to capture water, as there has been about using borders. It is a very personal thing. You have made it look like silk and have made a good job of it. I prefer to see it splashing and rushing, but, as I said, it is a very personal thing and is not a criticism of the quality of your shot!
The composition is excellent with the natural frames and the stream zigzagging in the b/g!
A beautiful, private place full of my favourite colour, green!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Tony:

It appears that New Zealand is not only sand beach, sea and nice people, is also a country of beautiful scenery and refreshing like this very nature, greenery and lighting.

I love the environment as detailed here, a place of dreams, no doubt.

Happy weekend, my dear friend.

Hello Ho

A wonderful shot of the attractive cascades, with good sharpness & motion blur of the water. Excellent use of the vegatation on the sides to frame the scene. Tfs!

hello Ho

No doubt the increased limit will enable you to show much better clarity for pixel hungry landscape photos like this one especially for the foilage.

Nice waterfall with 1sec exposure and it is not easy to find a spot for tripod here unless you use other support of trees. tfs

Bonjour Tony,
bel effet de filé obtenu grace à ce temps de pose de 1 seconde, les lumières ne s'en sont pas trop ressenties et restent exposées naturellement.
Une palette de verts très étendue et séduisante.

Hello Tony,

The virgin old forest makes a great frame for this fine waterfall!
The composition is well balanced, with good dynamics and a wonderful feeling of depth...
The colours are well reproduced and the shades of green are very attractive to my eyes!

Greetings,

Hello Tony,

A very impressive vew, the fall arise very well in the green of the vegetation. I like the different nuances in the green colour.
Have a good day,
Roger

bonjour
quel magnifique endroit de verdure et arboré pour recevoir cette jolie cascade avec son jet puissant qui arrive dans l'eau pour couler je suppose dans un petit torrent qui va serpenter.
excellente composition avec une très bonne luminosité
bon dimanche
juliette

What a hidden beauty this is Tony. I always have trouble exposing waterfalls. Butt you managed this one quite well. Best regards, Danilo

Hi, Tony -

Lovely S-curve on the waterfall - unusual, too. And very nicely framed. This is one instance where putting the main element in the center works well.

Best,
Dan

Hello Tony, A lovely scene & very well captured, the different shades of green combined with the effect of the water, framing & clarity make this a very pleasant image to look at.
Nice one. Take care.
Thanks

Hey Tony,

Paradise landscape as far as I`m concerned, and somewhat even more splendid then the beaches. Mor secluded and secret I guess. Great colors and exposition. You`re a lucky guy to have witnessed something like this.

Best regards.

Hello tony,
I am glad to see an off coast shot once again in your collection. By means of long exposure you could transform the water into a soft veil while having even the smallest leaf in excellent sharpness. A beautiful forest, a beautiful photo.
Best whishes
Laszlo

Hi Tony

beautiful shot, lovely exposure and composition.

Regards
Derek

Tony,
This is a fine shot of this well framed waterfall. The long exposure creates a nice effect on the moving water while placing the rest of the scene in crisp focus. The deep green foliage frames the waterfall nicely providing excellent contrast. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
