Photographer’s Note

One more shot of Caracol Falls, like the others i uploaded last week. This one was shot from a new tower, at least it didn't exist in 1999 when I went to this place. The tower is around 40 metres high and provide you a better view of the whole park. You have to pay R$1 (US$0.40) for the elevator, but it surely worths.

From here you can see a bit part of the river up to the falls. And I found room to put a tripod this time and make a long exposure shot. There's a glass window all around, so I did my best to avoid reflexions, standing the camera as close from the glass as I could.

I've done color adjustments and cloned out a small part of reflexions in the bottom.

hi, Guto!! Another excelent shot from the Caracol's Fall. This one I like the most because fo the Speed (1s), showing the water's movement, and the view, wich is unusual to me (the new tower must be great- now we are able to see the pool down the fall). I think colors are a bit saturated. As a suggestion, I would try another cropping, discarding the overexposured sky. Great shot. Um abraço!

WOW, bela foto! Composição perfeita, cores contidas e belas e, claro, o lugar ajuda bastante. A cachoeira em si está muito bonita na foto, a exposição alta deixou ela parecida com uma cortina fina.

Parabens!

hi,
very nice pict but a little to big to be seen in good conditions on a monitor,
I think 600 pixels high will be better.
May be contrast a little high.
Cheers
