    A nice set of images. They’re both nice but I have a couple of suggestions<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    #1 has nice color and shutter speed, but I would suggest cropping about 1/4-3/8" off the top of the first one, that bit beyond the top of the falls is distracting.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    #2 I think I would have either more of the pool at the bottom or crop up from the bottom so that the stream runs out thru the lower left corner.<o:p></o:p>

    Just my .02 worth, which isn't much.

    I don't know where I'm goin, but I'm goin anyway.

    Thanks, Phil.

    I like both suggestions.

    I agree with Phil.... I really like the first one and by cropping some of the top off to help focus on the falls it will be really good!

    I agree with the comments regarding excellent color and good choice of shutter speed on the first image. Trying some different crops/compositions would be interesting.

    Thanks, Duncan and Dan.

    I agree with the suggestions about cropping the top to bring focus to the falls.
