This is my first challenge with the new camera. I've been getting used to it for the past week. Here's my first idea:

Also wondered what you think of this next one. 3 lads were watching me take the photos & wanted me to take their picture. I didn't quite get the exposure right & as a result its very blurred, but its grown on me. Do you reckon its viable?

    Love the waterfall shot, it really drags the eye all the way to the far fall. clap.gif

    The kids don't do anything for me though. Sorry.

    We are allowed to use image enhancement on our work for this challenge...if you could really darken down the big bolders on the lower left and upper right and add some spot contrast to the water, so the eye can follow the water from the top would make a fine photo even better...I would even try one that really has those same areas hit hard with the density and water contrast...so the dreammy water gets unworldly...my .02 looks like you are having fun...thats what it is all about!

    I think the horizon is a bit tilted though. A 1 degree rotation to Counter clock wise might set it right.

    Very nice shot, vangogh.
    I would crop the blurry, all-white, part at the bottom, and change the frame to white, about half the size of what you have now.
    See what you think...:D thumb.gif

    It would make a square-ish composition, but I think it will hit the target.

    I wasn't sure at first, now its growing on me. What do others think? This one or the previous one I've already uploaded?

    btw I did check the horizon. Its fine. I had the cam on a tripod & the bubble was definitely centred. I think it looks like that because some of the rocks are sloping
