This is another view of the waterfall in Madai Forest Reserve. at approximately 40mters high, its a total disaster for a diver to jump (lets say in the worse case scenario where you've been chased by a swamp of beezzz)into the water bellow.

what fascinate me is that the waterfall is a stream dividing itself into two falls (actually three). at the edge of the fall, you can actually stand on the rocks and look down to see for yourself the view from above. ive went bellow on the pond-alike stream and view the fall from that point, it does irritate the eyes since tiny water droplets keep sprinkling to your eyes while im swiming to pop my head out of the deep water.

wiselike, the view from the top is somehow scary if you are a height-fobia. i manage to stand 'awhile' to see the waters fall, but when i decided to snap a shot.. i just have to admit that standing is not a good idea. im forced to lie flat face down and carefully handheld my camera for a shot.

its somehow dangerous to be a photographer, as you may face life threatening pose while taking the best shot. as i always say to myself that "stunning shots often derive from risky spots" (my own word). maybe we photographers should consider buying ourself a high value life insurance aswell... as im always reminded that "death has no smell"....

I think this angle is a little too abstract and missing the overall scene of a waterfall. Include wider view may resolve this problem.

The rocks and light/shadow is a bit confusing here. Question : Where is the main focus?

Great light though and rich color texture. Well done.
